	AMD announced today what analysts have been dreading for months: the company will launch its next-generation architecture this August, at top-out frequencies of 2.0 GHz. This next-generation CPU will become the successor of the existing K8 AMD Opteron lineup. AMD's press release claims, "With planned availability at launch in a range of frequencies up to 2.0 Ghz, AMD expects its native quad-core processors to scale to higher frequencies in Q407 in both standard and SE (Special Edition) versions."

*fingers crossed*

Top frequencies of 2.0ghz? AMD must have something really special on the table if they're taking on Intel with CPUs clocked at those kind of speeds.

While I would love for AMD to get it out the door, they better have something major up there sleeve that nobody has any idea about if they hope to be able to take back the market with a 2.0 clocked chip that so far has not been shown to be better clock for clock than Intel's offerings.

Maybe they're just going for the budget market.
