Are there any actual 8+1 designs out yet?

why can't i disable NRAC blocking on my Zambezi?

i pre-ordered a Zambezi (FX 8120) when they first came out in 2011, and I am just now researching about the Phenom II vs FX 81xx because a friend said his Deneb was faster and I didn't believe him...

i wonder if the Phenom II X8 would have been able to set in current sockets with a BIOS update? or would an X8 require a new socket and chipset accommodation?

almost wish they would have just made an X8 based on these comments

blender, gimp, android-sdk (eclipse classic ide) possibly maya..., chatzilla, google chrome with lots of tabs, steam (sometimes a game)
