AMD Opteron CPU with Hypertransport 3.0, an extended AMD64 instruction set and FB-DIMM support is expected to be released in Q2/Q3 - 2007. This processor is expected to be a quad core processor with the cores connected through an enhanced version of the Hypertransport protocol. K9 is expected to interface to DDR3 memory with the initial revision running at clock speeds of up to 3Ghz.

AMD Athlon64/Sempron DDR-3 with Direct Connect 2.0 technology (the replacement for Hypertransport) are expected to be released in 2008.

Nice little source about what was forecasted and what actually happened - take a tour in memory lane if you want...
