Wow, I don't think I've ever seen anyone get so excited over such an underwhelming release. Then I realised who was posting, and it all made sense.

If anyone has been following reviews closely, they'll realise the 9950BE has been getting lower power consumption than the 9850BE. So now AMD finally comes to their senses and rates the TDP where it should be, whoopy doo, sorry if I ain't jumping around screaming like a girl around Brad Pitt.

The X2 6500 is also a very misleading name, I was expecting a 3.3GHz X2 until I saw perkam's post. EDIT - I see there is a bit of confusion on this...

The X3 8750BE is the most 'exciting' release of the lot, but if they keep the current 8750 price ($175) it ain't gonna sell, not when you can get a Phenom 9600 for $150 and a Q6600 for $190.

I guess I'll set the alarm clock to when Deneb is released... yawn.
