So I would say no to 600$ pricing. Maybe 350$ or so for top hex core model since AMD wants to offer better value per $(not counting platform cost since AMD has the upper hand here too). Zosma pricing will replace today's Deneb top bin pricing,since 960T will beat 965 C3 and there will also be a 975BE model which will sit above 960T (3.6Ghz Vs 3.3GHz+T).
    I think that the (HW) Turbo mode is very unlikely to be in Thuban. IMHO it is a future feature for Bulldozer and Llano.

    AN UPDATE AGAIN:
    THUBAN + ZOSMA are based on LISBON core architecture, which is due to release soon on server platfrom
    ALL AM3 released CPU's are AM2+ backward compatible if it is supported by BIOS also Thuban and Zosma
