Here's a little teaser....

So we will see a inproved preformace with reatail systems! Good to know I supose that dualcore K10 (Kuma?) will be B2 aswell? Just looked at asus Rd790 borad, looks nice but not "finished" Hope to see a Dual K10 borad from Dfi to, now THAT would rock! In the mean time I just have to play with my new 6400+, hopfully tomorow

how much measurable performance in an ideal platform is up for grabs. 5% would be expected.

I believe the Phenoms will be B2 from start, no BA - as current retail Opterons got.
In the end, current flawed Opterons provide good performance for server tasks
so this was the right option for them, even if this situation damaged their reputation
among normal computer geeks.

btw Dave, I assume the 3ghz Phenom X4 (the one Rahul got its hands on hehe) will be B2? or B3?
can B2 provide a 3ghz X4 under 120W TDP?

phenoms are B2.

as for what Rahul is working with, god only knows.

cheers,
