How about it is the most logical step for maximizing financial efficiency? Not to mention they have done it before, by knocking down dual cores to single cores. It is just like speed binning to the next level.
Oh yeah, how about AMD saying so?
you never made a CPU have you?
have you designed one?
as for "AMD said so".
who pointed that out?
oh yeah, not you.
"The command and conquer model," said the EA CEO, "doesn't work. If you think you're going to buy a developer and put your name on the label... you're making a profound mistake."
man why do you get this way in a petty subject like this?
same here.. just curious as I have not $ :P

And you expect what? That AMD made a big caution statement on there website?
" Caution, phenom X3 are broken phenom X4 ?"
Do you understand what is on this kind of website?
A sample:
Does it look to the truth?The new, all-AMD “SPIDER” platform.
AMD’s enthusiast platform, code-named “SPIDER,” brings together an all-AMD processor, graphics card, and chipset for the most complete computing platform ever. Combining these best-in-class components gives you the ultimate computing experience with amazing scalability and exceptional efficiency.

The AMD “SPIDER” platform. Never before have all of the components of a platform been designed to work together so well, to push each other so far, and to enable a PC experience so complete.
You have contact with AMD executive, to say that:
Is bs?AMD Confirms Addition of Three-Core Phenom Chips
By Mark Hachman
AMD Microprocessor Roadmap, Sept. 2007
SAN FRANCISCO—Advanced Micro Devices is adding a triple-core Phenom processor to its roadmap, AMD executives said Monday, selling processors that it would otherwise throw onto the scrap heap.
You believe that was never discuss nowhere before september 2007 because this is a wonderful secret weapon, ?

that's called marketing.
I am sure you do not have the fastest cpu and best mobo with graphics you're self, so what do you have to say then you bought something bad?
it's all about price/performance/features if there was no chooise like in the past we would still pay more then 2x the price.
The use and budget of you're system is most important. most don't care about max performance and best oc because they don't have the knowledge to maximize it, just bought for a friend a 5000 black with 790x and 3850, now that is value for money for a medium gamer and for this comby is easy to oc for him, he just needed a different multi to get it to 3.2 with ease, no troubles with possible htt/fsb change or memory change, just default cas4 ddr2 800.
I use 100% vmware (job) so i am happy that my system is an amd, because on medium-havy load my system performs 15-25% faster then an equal clocked c2d and global response is much better due to memory, now that is a fact and phenom/barcelona will only increase the difference.

But it's not. In VMMark, 2 socket Clovertowns match the performance of 4 socket Opterons and Harpertowns are faster still. And when price/performance (to say nothing about reduced footprint and lower power consumption) is factored, it becomes a massacre for Intel.
And AMD still lacks the confidence to publish any meaningful Barcelona scores.

How about this is old news(the concept) with new benchies? Nothing really impressive as there is barely any room in the lineup between the duals and the quads, might as well nix the duals unless there are tons of bum Phenoms with only 2 cores operating at production frequencies.
My E6300 @ 3ghz in the CINEBENCH R10 did 5979
