Now would they just hurry up and release these damn CPUs?
I notice that Phenom FX TDP is undecided yet, which leads me to believe they're having troubles getting the expected speeds. :?
To stick to the promised TDPs they also have to show something like 45W K8 X2s but their 65nm SOI has not gone any further up to now.

The interesting thing is that the AM2+ X4s are to be released at the same time as the Socket F ones; if performance is about what they claim it to be... I'd like to see the price tag of the 2.2GHz model... should not be hard to get 2.8 GHz out of it with water cooling.
Does the word "suckage" exist?
Probably not, but its just what these processors are... who had the idea to release 29385 different bus speeds?
Also low-power with 45W doesnt really look like low-power.

I'd like to have seen that with say top end air cooling but that's hoping for alot...
Probably you will be able to get 2.7-2.8 GHz with a Tuniq but I don't like that kind of coolers; too cumbersome and noisy for getting the job done properly. If I have to get a cooler that fills half of the case, it's better be liquid cooling; more efficient and quiet and even if you have to deal with water, it's still way safer than having a 1KG+ weight all hanging out of your motherboard.

How is 45w not low power? tool
Oh yes, and having 3-4 differend HTT speeds is gay... As MU_Engineer noted, that is 1.5x the core speed and if the HTT/core ratio is fixed, that only makes performance scale more linearly with frequency.

I looked up "suckage" to see if it was a word. Turns out, there was no definition. only a picture of ycon.
I wouldn't think one would need massive cooling to get to 2.8Ghz or higher, much as one doesn't need super-mad-impressive cooling now to get 2.8 or even 3Ghz out of a Brisbane. Different architecture, yes, but a more refined process and similar clocks. I could be wrong.
edit - I wonder how multipliers are going to factor in with all these different bus speeds. The 2.8Ghz dual-core has the highest speed so far.

A 3.0GHz X4 may go past 150W, so liquid cooling might be a better solution.

Oh, no doubt for a quad core. It would be comparable (or slightly worse) compared to a QX6800 in terms of power consumption, and those things bake.
