That makes no sense at all. Wheres the link?
Yes it does --- the K8L core logic is just that a core, when you design one it is effectively copy/paste 3 times to make a quad. For a dual core it is just one copy paste .... not quite that simple but not complicated either. I believe Dailytech has reported DC variants of K8L --- if I run across the link I will let you know.
However tri core is different, it does in fact make sense. If defectivity is such that one core comes out dead at the end of the manufacturing process, but the other three are alive -- it is as simply as simply telling the Bios to initialize 3 cores instead of 4, at least I would think --- I could be wrong. cxl is a good authority on architecture in this regard, he may be able to be of more help.

I already provided a link. Should I provide one that says the Quad will be for FX only?
You sound like one of those people who gets no respect in the real world and comes here to live it down.
Projecting much? The same could be applied to you.
Perhaps, depending upon your point of view. I have made it clear that I believe AMD and Intel should be treated as equals.
PERIOD!!!
AMD invented X64, Intel invented X32.
