    Regarding Phenom II 2.8GHz AM3 being rated 95W compared to 125W on the AM2+ version it might be caused by yet another revision of 45nm chip. Remember that AM3 part will be rev. C3! AMD might either bring more power savings thanks to revision changes or it simply expects to advance in manufacturing on this node before releasing AM3 SKUs.

    That's what I was thinking too, the PII 925 AM3 could be a newer stepping, and it's the highest clocked AM3 part, so they should unlock it too

    They might be Hiding the FX realse with AM3...which would be the Unlocked version...It then might be a 125w variant. That's my guess...
