There is c0 - d0 and the new cpu's that come with the d0 rev, that's enough.

AMD needs to compete with i7 first, 'i5' fills in for c2q so they have their upper, mid and extreme end desktop tier covered. With amd announcing no more new cpu's for a while intel can just work towards their 'tock'. AMD might have to tweak their pricing again to bring the field level.
