From what ive seen there will be two new FX based Phenom chips, Both 45nm quads with multiplier ranges of upto 20 - 25.

I was provided with this CPUZ shot along with the other information, I dont know if it shows a FX Phenom for sure, But being able to boot into windows @ 4Ghz with a Phenom is amazing

I find it strange that Intel had brought forward the launch of its new I7 core, droped its plans to only release the extreme chips and has now included the main stream models. Its just speculation at this point but intel could have kept on with Core2 for another year.
