More phenom II news
Pricing no-no The Inq reports that an Australian web store called "Austin
Computers" briefly listed the prices for two upcoming Deneb based Phenom II processors on its web site - and removed them in short order.
The two products listed were:
- $307 Phenom II 920 @ 2.8GHz 2MB L2 + 6MB L3, multiplier locked
- $347 Phenom II 940 @ 3.0GHz, 2MB L2 + 6MB L3, unlocked
I'd bet that the prices in North America will be lower than that, as the Phenom II will have to compete price wise against the supposedly superior Core i7 from
Intel.

This is pretty amazing tbh lol, looking at their prices they charge $300 for an e8500, which is $190 in the us and $235 here. If the prices are the same on these cpus we could be looking at a $200 usd UNLOCKED 3ghz quad, which according to the rumours is faster than yorktown clock for clock and ocs to 4ghz+ on air. I just hope the canadian dollar comes back up for the release of these things, i know ill be going with amd on my build based on this info.
Edit: Also noticed that they have the same names as the i7s, could it be that these are meant to compete directly with the i7 920 and 940 and amd is making it easier for the consumer?
