Any news on new AMDs?

[Herojuana]

As above really, I haven't heard anything for a long while and it is coming up to March fast which was supposedly when they were bringing out some new Quads and Tri core CPUs.

Has anyone heard anything about this?

I dont think they are new as such just the B3 revision of the phenom
No idea about the triple cores though

from what i can google up, B3 didnt solve the TLB bug for the higher clocked phenoms so they have been put back till later this year. for now they are concentrating on the tripple cores, i do wish they would hurry up, im waiting on a tripple core myself.

AMD expects to launch its triple-core Phenom 8400 and 8600 at CeBIT 2008 along with its low-power quad-core Phenom 9100e, however the quad-core Phenom 9700 and 9900 CPUs, which were originally scheduled to launch at the same time, will be delayed for both launch and showcase to a later time, according to sources at motherboard makers. The delay of Phenom 9700 and 9900 is due to the TLB bug and AMD is still working to raise core frequencies. The company will launch Phenom 9550 and 9650 in the second quarter this year. Other than Phenom 9900, whose launch date is not yet set, all other CPUs are currently scheduled to launch at Computex 2008 in early June.
AMD will also delay the launch of its second wave triple-core Phenom 8700, 8650 and 8450 CPUs by a month, from their original schedule in early second quarter.
Phenom 8700, 9700 and 9900 will be renamed to Phenom 8750, 9750 and 9950 by the time they are officially launched, noted the sources.
AMD responded in saying that in order to fulfill consumer demand, the company has made a decision with its partners to give launch priority to triple-core CPUs in the first quarter of 2008. The Phenom 9700 and 9900 will be launched in the second quarter of 2008

On the flip side, not long before that...

Basically its fixed, the 8xxx tri-cores are coming soon and are dirt cheap for OEMS (or so I've been led to believe so expect them to come in waves ). While looking this up I did see a 790FX based dual CPU motherboard. I'd kill for it instead of a skulltrail, what with use of normal DDR2 and CrossfireX... WHY OH WHY IS THERE NO AGENA FX
