I don't have time to read the next 2 pages at the moment, but all this talk of "really, no 'Dozer bench leaks yet?!" makes me assume that no one has seen these? o_0 Which if not, is surprising I think >_>

Granted, it's not the desktop variant, but from my understanding the 'Dozer CPU modules are going to be the same between everything. It'll just be small tweaks to certain areas (likely the HT Link for the SMP cross-talking [if you will]), but the only big big difference is the amount of cores the C32 and G34 have since they both have got over 1.25x and 2x the amount of pins available, respectively. Valencia might be able to run 10cores, but AMD probably figures they should keep it down to 8C(max) to make buying the G34 worth the investment :P Because we're getting 8C on 942pins with DDR3-1866 Dual Channel, and C32 is 1207 with the same :\ Those ~260 pins really all for the SMP Hyper Transport?

Speaking of HT quick... Why the hell is AMD upping the Link speed to gain a higher MT/s, instead of just friggen just using the 32bit that all our NB and HT have supported since it started getting used, ditching the damn 16bit?! *sigh*
From Wiki:

Sucks when there is an available ability that doesn't get utilized! Th... that'd be like, disabling perfectly good cpu cores and selling it as a down-cored model of a the same CPU!! Oh... wait... NM :P lol But seriously, I don't get why they keep with 16bit when 32 is right there :|

All I know is that the CPUID reads fine for this E350 Zacate on the Specifications line in CPU-Z 1.37 (rrrreally old), and a program called CPUMSR (even older). So CPU-Z doesn't care too much about that, but where my friend is getting that FX reading from, I'm not 100% sure. I'm trying to squeeze a CPU-Z SS from him
