the 960T

As far as I know they scrapped that idea, there will however be increased multi refresh to current CPUs, not a big deal to BE CPUs but makes the x3/x4 locked athlons even better : ).
 
MIA

It's not listed on any future plans i've seen.

They've just released the 970BE instead (still Deneb). :(
 
They would have hard time placing it properly.

At 150 for OEM you can already have 1055 95W, and 965BE is priced just below that.

They would need to put this one around 120-130 for it to be worth and then 965/955 will have to be dropped under 100 which isnt going to happen until bulldozer I guess.
 
Nope, they are just current Deneb's with a .5x multi jump.

there was an article a few days ago disputing that

http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/di...Core_Chip_Will_Have_Two_Versions_Sources.html

"The forthcoming AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition microprocessor will not only be the fastest quad-core chip from Advanced Micro Devices, but will also exist in two versions one of which has all chances to become a dream of computer enthusiasts because of possibility to unlock two additional cores."
 
Very interesting news, but theres no a lot of price difference between the 965 and 1055 already so it'll require quite a price drop to be worth it
