I didn't have to pay for anything. Though I'm probablly not going to see it for two weeks. Let's say I got lucky with AMD. Of course, a new Intel quad will be happening in the future as well.

It will be an epic success if it clocks as easily as the X2 BE 5000+ and comes with that ~$300 tag.

Hmmm. ATM, AMD's 9850 is the highest clocked phenom? Then whats next after this officially ships? I want to start seeing some 2.8+ stock phenoms!

I'll wait to see the first results of the people trying to clock these new editions, as AMD said, the bug on the TLB corrected wouldn't improve overclock in any way, but maybe were false rumours and besides the bug, they fixed something more to fight again with Intel.

Though it all, people was able to clock the 9600 (with TLB errata) till 3Ghz, which is a 30% overclock, at the same level as the 3.4-3.5 on a 5000+ BE, that's a good point to start. Mixing it with a RD790FX chipset MoBo i think it will be as expected, maybe not good as the intel quads, but fair enough. People owning a RD790FX been able to boot my 6400+ (90nm) at more than 500Mhz of FSB and i was able to do 325x11 on my WHITE 6400+, so imagine the platform with a quad-65nm CPU, i think they'll surprise us, at least, i hope so.

its a good upgrade for those who own an am2 board
it is cheaper than intel
you save money and this can go towards other stuff like graphics
tbh if you have the money to get the best only its a waste coz stuff will get outdated and you need to replace it
save some money and give the rest to charity

I'm sure the people who got it will let us know! Keep an eye out for reviews, too. They should hopefully be pouring in here within the next week or so.

ID love to see that chip. I cant believe these are finally shipping. I was hoping they would also give the b3 steppings to the original phenoms and replace the current stock. Of course, a tricore for $100.00 US could peak me enough to hold off of Quad cores

impressive, a 2.5GHz AMD B3 part for > $300.

If this baby can clock to 3GHz+, it'll be quite the hit.

~$100 tri-cores sound awesome as well.
