Yeah that says 2.4GHz for December. Release prices are always higher than MSRP or /1000 prices, or compared to those a few weeks after, and especially when the quantities are low near Xmas.

Honestly, if I see that as final, the business manager liaising with my uncle's corp has been lying and bluffing all along, which would be a different story all altogether but make me think of them as pretty damn sad and disingenuous at all levels.

If only 2.4GHz FX/X4 is released this year (nothing higher), then despite what they say, they are having problems with TDP.

Bit like how Penryn >3GHz had problems with TDP since January. So did Barcelona just at 1GHz lower.
