I'll probably use these for when I'm building systems for other people.

If I can get them imported aswell I can save 10 pounds, extra money towards a graphics card! ( which most people want when they get me to build a system)

NewEgg is pegging this as a Propus core chip, which I doubt they'd do if they were shipping some of them with Denebs. I would think they'd dump 'em on OEMs, not end-users who know better.

Newegg only goes by what AMD tells them. So if AMD is releasing some of these as Deneb, it's silent, and Newegg wouldn't know the difference anyway.

Well I'll find out soon enough! :) Gonna be doing some comparisons between my Phenom 720/965 and this Athlon 620. This chip might be a little tricky to get up there, but I always feel like a real man overclocking a multiplier-locked processor rather than a two-bit stooge with an African-American Edition AMD or an Intel Extreme [ly lame and overpriced] processor.

NewEgg will ship more of these than any other retailer in the US, online or otherwise. I have no doubt that their buyers would specify that only Propus-based cores be shipped. Don't think AMD doesn't know which are which. The cheapest of everything always end up in OEM machines, meaning this will soon be AMD's flagship quad-core in your neighbor's HP. As with old Agena cores plagued with the TLB bug, which continued selling in OEM machines long after they were phased out of retail distribution, I think we will see the same thing here.

That or it's all just imagined. I mean, AMD changed SKUs after they advanced steppings and eradicated the TLB bug, so I highly doubt they'd ship two completely different processing cores under the same one.

You be suprised how easy it is to OC these chips, the high multi makes it a piece of cake for 3.2Ghz+
Just set the base clock to 250 and bam you get a 3+ Ghz quad.

The Phenom 9600 has been selling for under $100 for some time now, I've seen it on newegg as low as $85. Though it has been sold out a lot recently, probably because they were clearing stock for this.

O ok i didnt realize that, as i havent looked at the older phenoms for awhile now, thanks for the update. Id still have to check if its under $100 here in AUS tho, id say not, even with this new Quad been priced at $100 US.

we are out of sync with price drops, so it may drop $50 in the coming weeks - but for now, we're $200 for the 9600

How long before we see that Q7500 from Intel to counter? I'd love to see a nice little budget quad-core ware going on.
