Shanghai launch pulled forward to Mid-October, Model Numbers and info!

[informal]

No, Deneb is still a 2009 affair, officially.
We might see it being pulled earlier if volume is great, but no guarantees.

Looks like AMD's 45nm transition will be faster and smoother.

Macadamia,thanks for posting this

Good news for server division at last. 2.7Ghz should be on the market in a month time frame,and should be a good 20-25% faster(IPC+clock) than the fastest 2.5Ghz Barcelona while consuming less power.

I guess Deneb could be pulled-in in December time frame.It all depends on the yield of 2.8/3Ghz parts.If it's good than we may have some Deneb lovin' at the end of the year.Couple that lil hammer with SB750 board and 4Ghz could be reachable on air with reasonable Vcore adjustment [and @ 4Ghz ,it would be a tough nut to crack,be it York or Core i7,while costing less and supporting both DDR standards!]

PS careful with the "faster and smoother" key word usage .Some people don't like those words used in the same paragraph with the word Phenom .And we don't want them to come here with the "smoother anti-comments" j/k
