    Saaya works for Foxconn if I remember correctly, so I guess it's from experience.

    I pretty much expected these chips to be cherry picked, but that does not mean we won't be seeing any of its overclock potential. Current 65 nm. Phenoms don't always have a coldbug either, so it's not something that came out of nowhere. My guess is that we will be seeing coldbugs on Phenom II, but not on all of them (hopefully not on most of them).

    The AM3 versions of Deneb will probably be even better than these stepping C2 version and 4 GHz. on air should not be a rare sight to see with those is my guess. The C3 2,8 GHz. part has a DP of 95 compared to the 125 W. of the C2 version of the same clock, that has got to account for some improvement to the process and CPU. I'm eager to know what these chips will clock like in about a year from now, as AMD has the tendency to greatly improve its manufacturing process over time.

    EDIT:

    BTW guys, could we stop making nasty comments (or flame baiting/trolling) to others, even if you consider that other user to do so himself (once in a while). You should not say things about others and to others that you don't like to be said about you. Or how some would say it, don't lower yourself to someone else's standards. It will only put you in bad light, so speak.
