that's.. odd.
and somewhat disapointing. I'm not sure I understand AMD's reasoning here. They made a native die for Dual core.. It seems logical to me to do the same for Value quads given the compeition's main advantage will be threading..

I guess the fact it has 512kb vs 1MB is/was always a clue.

Is It possible there will be some of both out there? (Much like early 2MB Core 2 duo, they were cut down Conroe's before moving to allendale die)
