Don't know, but if the chip is half neutered, it could mean that there is a 14 cache chip in the future.
LOL i cant read chinese
That 955 BE is going to cost 275 bucks atleast. I wonder if there will be a X3 version because they say the yield is very good

if theres an x2, then there must be an x3

dittto, if this is a new revision than this is so mine
Now my question is, is that 8MB's of l3 or is it basically the same as current phenom II's just with a higher multi.

Yea, I realized that after I posted it
Great, now the only reason for me to get this is a new revision, which I'm not holding my breath on.

Good to see X2s coming soon. They will fill the void. X3 has some stigma with people but X2 is ok. X2s will appeal to the gamers and people that use their PCs heavily and/or in business.
Looking at a 3.1 on the way tells me yields are improving. Seeing a 96x before June would mean yields are better. If a 3.6G hits the market before end of Summer the AMD is holding track.

Ditto. Also, i have to wait until then for my first pay check
I wonder if it will overclock any better than the current phenoms.

That's the total cache, so the 1MB is the L2 of the 2 extra cores.

by 6 megs I assume you are talking about the 8XX chips and that would be 4 megs l3 and 512x4 l2, the 9XX is 6megs l3 and 512x4, the 7XX is 6megs l3 and 512x3 l2 and the 5XX is 6megs l3 and 512x2 l2
Deneb high MHz/launch is a complete rumor at this point. HKEPC is definitely much more credible than majority of rumor sites that take a word and run a fully blown story on it, and they do always have at least something credible to base their data on. However, although it is definitely a model on the expected list, whether and when it comes depends on so much that none could predict its time-to-market, unless and until after the model is validated and supported by MB MFGs. Even then, it'll depend on the market at the point of its introduction, as does any SKU. The preliminary news is better than the +100MHz model they expected to launch priorly though. I'm certainly interested in the voltage for these parts.
Deneb as X2 with huge L3 cache per core is definitely on but I'm not sure of any dates/frequencies. 85W TDP is also the last we heard. I was expecting 2.7-2.9GHz though, so that was a surprise. Deneb in a 2 core form with 6MB L3 should perform quite a bit better than Deneb 4 core with the 6MB L3, simply due to doubling of cache per core. Power will always remain higher with such parts though due to cores still not being fused off but only being placed in a very low power state.
Every A64/K8 based rig at my office department and at the appartment I definitely had planned to upgrade with Callisto.. if it came at lower MHz. Office/home don't require such speed parts. High MHz means higher power/cost, roughly at the lower end of the Heka spectrum. I'd be immediately interested if they shipped some 2.5-2.7GHz Callisto models but that seems unlikely. I hope they keep the pricing structure similar to what they did with Agena based models, which would make Callisto a very clever buy.
If AMD can get their full lineup (largest volume is sub $200) out quick and clean, they'll do very well in the market for 2009. Even Socket AM2 MB MFGs are now officially supporting AM3 CPUs, which forms the largest AMD consumer base at present. Deneb 8xx, Propus, Heka, Callisto, Regor, all would form exceptional value offerings. The race is on.
