phenom and barcelona?

delayed, delayed, delayed again. lose count how many times they doing it. it's done when it's done. currently set for Q4 '07. amd basically didn't pushs any new proc for a year without in deep financial shit! that's an achievement

Hope they can meet their Christmas promise for Agena and Kuma.

They will stop production when the planned time come. Intel proccessor has 3 years warranty so stop production won't affect the warranty period, only product (like RAM) has life-time warranty is depended on production viable.
Got sale or not depends on shop, it might still around for some time even intel stop producing it until shops clear up their stock.

They rather discontinue the product rather than selling it cheap-> quite smart move in term of business wise apart from the technology improvement needed.

well for me im getting the new processor. after ive done the converting (price) after the 22nd july price cut, e6750 should have the same price as e6420. IMO that's a bargain. you get :-

1)faster fsb
2)faster speed

for the sampe prize. plus i'm waiting for g35 chipset as well.

Nice planning there.

I think the new series is aiming to reduce power consumption. Amd recently released low power consumption CPU. It's all in USA where ppl are now trying to be more GREEN in the environment. It's not just about raw power but rather power and efficiency combined will yield better results.

It will be new stepping I think.

you mean after price cut both of the processor will sell at same price?

fyi....
E6600 266x9=2.4GHz
E6650 333x7=2.33GHz
and confirmed that the E6650 is 2.33GHz from intel.

lower stock speed,a bit higher fsb,what's the benefits that we get?

and one thing,45nm proc,now our mobo cant boot ah?

No with 965P. Intel sure to make customer change product frequently.
