ya but i don know how they call coz i js industrial trainee inside~
it is 2 Quad Core inside my supervisor tell me d~

somemore everyday i wil take the die to inspect ~ ~
This is what AMD has confirmed.
Phenom FX (Agena FX)
-socket 1207 (meant for dual processor systems, meaning 8 cores on the system)
There will also be 1 model using AM2
-quad core
-with 512x4 L2 & 2MB L3 cache
-using Hypertransport v3.0
-will ship with stock frequencies up to 2.9GHz
Phenom X4 (Agena)
-socket AM2/AM2+
-quad core
-with 512x4 L2 & 2MB L3 cache
-using Hypertransport v3.0
-will ship with stock frequencies slightly slower than Agena FX
Phenom X2 (Kuma)
-socket AM2/AM2+
-dual core
-with 512x2 L2 & 2MB L3 cache
-will ship with stock frequencies up to 2.9GHz
There will also be dual core Athlon X2 (same as Kuma, but without L3 cache), and Semprons. AM2+ is supposed to be backwards compatible with AM2 (though how exactly is not mentioned), difference is that AM2+ will use hypertransport 3 while AM2 uses Hypertransport 2. Franky, I don't think there will be much performance from the difference in hypertransport speed, its the porcessor thats wicked fast.
Seriously, I can't wait. At demos of the Barcelona server chip, it pawned the Intel quad core Xeon by 30-50%

And I don't think its faked, because according to the processor specifications, the pipeline can simultaneously process at least 1 more instruction than C2D based processors. There was also a demo of the Agena FX chip in dual processor configuration, god that was damned fast.
Procesor specifications (this is pretty long and boring to read)
