I am just going by what was in AMD's latest roadmap:

(Pg 42)

(Pg 19)

Two different presenters, same conlcusion.... Phenom X2/X4 will have HT1.0 specification. It is speculation as to why, if AMD is indeed accurate, perhaps they do not understand their own plans.... I could guess, purely guessing, that HT3.0 is having issues and holding back clocks, so they may drop to 1.0 specs in order to get higher CPU clockspeed.

Some seem to think budapest will transistion to HT3.0.... but, unless AMD botched their presentation, it appears that it has been pushed.
