See his upgrade schedule. 2006...2008...2010 (?)
Bulldozer's definitely sampling at least in '10 (earlier news said 09 but eff that for objectivity), but we'd have to wait for '11 for a real CPU I guess.
It's rather obvious that if you have a (non-crappy stepping/VID) Q6600 for a "normal" rig then upgrading to either Deneb or Yorkfield is kind of a lost cause.
32nm 6-core i7/i8 might be a nice stand in, though.
