That's different to what I've heard. I heard:

November 19th:
9500 2.2GHz
9600 2.3GHz (maybe now changed to 2.4GHz to meet new roadmap)
9700 2.6GHz (125W)

9800 2.8GHz (maybe by mid-January)
That roadmap changed last week.
Beside the numbering-changes the TDP for the 2,4GHz version rose to 125W.
With that new numbering the highest cloked 9xxx-phenom should be an 9900 at 2,6 GHz. Will they use 10xxx for higher clocking versions or will they use non linear numbering in relation to the frequency beyond 2,4GHz?

FZ posted a pre-order link today. There the 9700 is not available before 14. Dec.


Dirk said in mid October that November is Phenom launch at higher than 2.5GHz, like here: http://www.tcmagazine.com/comments.p...=16488&catid=2
Maybe he had fx-phenoms in mind.
