I think we should call Zambezi 8150 an 8 threaded CPU. This way we avoid any core vs not-a-core arguments. It has 8 strong threads,according to AMD,so let's call it 8T capable CPU. Thuban is 6T chip,SB 2600k is 8T chip. Whether it's a weak or strong thread is debatable though.

On another note,we have some shops listing FX models and mobo and FX bundles. So it seems 12th is the date. Won't be long now .
