    if there is some kind of really nice turbo feature, it might help explain the killer delays were seeing.

    delays? what delays? I was under impression that we've just learned about Zosma?
    Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following the release of Flash Player 10.1.

    Exactly. IIRC,original Thuban intro date was Q3,so Q2 is actually a pull-in. And Zosma wasn't even on the roadmaps so that one can't be delayed either...

    6 core opterons have been available since June 2009,New Egg has/had
    them many times.I don't see how it's "too late"

    Besides M. Cores should be a lot more exiting then a single 6 core,
    it's like 4 Thubans on one board (2 CPUs -12 cores each)

    the delay to simply make it, not saying their target dates were off. its just seems like its taking forever to get out something that for most of us was suppose to be as simple as deneb with 2 more cores.

    well probably isn't that simple 'cos it's not just Deneb+2 more cores

    I think you're right.
    A better question is how Thuban could take so long time when Istanbul has been around since last summer?

    I mean, the biggest step must have been to go from 4 to 6 cores, with Istanbul, so how come it took twice as much time making the desktop counterpart (counting from the first 45 nm)?

    Shanghai - nov 2008
    Istanbul - july 2009
    Thuban - april 2010

    It's not Deneb with 2 more cores. It's Istanbul with 0 more core.

    BTW I've just found some evidence about the Istanbul's DDR3 support. It has combo DDR2+DDR3 compatible IMC like Deneb and all other AM3 CPU.

    (Istanbul is a HY-D0 stepping CPU.)
