First AMD Barcelona processors should be announced in a month already. They will be the first solutions to be built on AMD’s new K10 micro-architecture that the company pins a lot of hopes upon. Let’s take a closer look at the micro-architectural innovations that will be introduced in these new solutions.

Hm, I was expecting a clear win for AMD at similar clock speeds. Turns out it will be a slight win instead. Meaning K10 will be an alternative to Conroe/Penryn, when they'll reach the same frequencies. And because of Intel (and AMD themselves), they won't be able to sell the CPUs for much.
On the bright side, independent clock speeds for each core is a very pleasant surprise. I knew AMD was working on it, I just wasn't expecting it so soon.

Yeah and it is still a bunch of speculation at the moment... Guess we will find out something in a few weeks and get a true picture once the Phenom and RD7xx/Nforce ?? AM2+ chipsets come out and are benchmarked.. Waiting waiting waiting.....

Ah well can't wait I want an upgrade... Course I don't have the money yet so I can wait..
