Believe me or not, I am a good friend of the store manager of one the more popular computer stores in Vancouver, BC. I just chat it up with him yesterday over various of things but when we talked about Barcelona I told him it sucked about Phenom may be delayed till Q1. My friend said that he actually spoke to the AMD rep the day before and they are very sure that the Phenom will be launched exactly one month after Barcelona (Sept 10 for Barcelona). Now, that's what I heard, I don't know if the AMD rep was just trying to make things look good, but my friend knows the rep well enough. But who knows, I just thought I might throw this out there.

is this platform going to be offered as some kind of discount package? i don't see anything that would increase performance in particular... or will we be paying more to have a silly name and an extra sticker on our computers?

I'd really like to see an in-house chipset on the AMD side that performs well and can compete with NVs offerings, although of course this dual-socket FASN8 was of no interest. Hopefully the integration of ATi chipsets will help this along.

Next year... well, at least that gives AMD time to refresh its rather-underwhelming graphics lineup, too.
