	AMD plans to debut its initial quad-core Phenom processors in late November: the Phenom 9600 and 9500. The 9600 will come clocked at 2.4GHz and the 9500 will have a slightly lower operating frequency of 2.5GHz. Both Socket AM2+ processors feature a 512KB of L2 cache for each core and a shared 2MB pool of L3 cache. In addition, both processors will operate on a 3.6GHz HyperTransport bus and will have an 89 Watt Thermal Design Power envelope. In December the slightly higher-end Phenom 9700 will become AMD's third desktop Barcelona-derivative. All technical aspects of the processor will be the same as those for the 9600 and 9500, save for a few improvements. The processor will run at a slightly higher operating frequency of 2.6GHz. The downside of these improvements is a higher 125-Watt Thermal Design Power envelope.

w00T! The opteron processors really only became really competitive around 2.5Ghz so this should be pretty sweet depending on the price point.

Meh... Not interested at all in these Phenoms now. I think AMD lets everyone down. Stuff like this is better, I'd love a full ATX socket P board (I have a T7300 but no laptop or board!).

Man by the time I get core duo I'll be saving up for the next generation. I need to get a beeter job, or a loan.But it is good news for AMD, I'm interest in what they will be doing with the fusion technology in quad core form, could get interesting especially with the new digital tuner that anandtech just posted about.Lets see some benchmarks!!!
