Aiyo. Looks like no Q9450 for me before CNY then.

But it is a strategically smart move by Intel, as the Phenom looks like cannot even match the current 65nm C2D/C2Q. Plus AMD appears to have yield issue, not enough quantity for everyone.

I feel, there may be a possibility that Intel may lower the price of current 65nm C2Q to price competitive against Phenom 3x.

So we won't know what will be next until the release of Phenom 3x.
