Official AMD Barcelona Thread

[Cooper]

HT 3.0 is chipset related feature NOT primary CPU ... and Barcelona "Agena" is HT 3.0 ready!

Actually it's a bus connecting CPU with chipset.

Is there any AM2+ boards coming out soon(ish), or will they be released with K10 in Q4? I would of loved to pick up a X2 3600+ at ~50€ and an AM2+ board, later dropping a Kuma in it.

Official date is 2H. But I wouldn't expect good variety until autumn. Two advantages of AM2+ are HT 3.0 support and multy lane power for CPU and memory controller which should be better in terms of overclocking.
