This cpu will be better,it has an integrated memory controller and it´s been said that it can reach a 1ghz overclock,the tri´s can´t overclock that much and the cheap quads aren´t so good,the 9850 starts at 170 bucks,if you don´t use a quad getting this cpu could be cool.
I´m still waiting to see what happens,i just got my sb750 mobo,i´m gonna try to overclock as much as i can my phenom 9500,i´ll stick with it until deneb and this cpu come out.

Agena Core? Inst that the Core for the Phenom Processors? Is this another Disabled Phenom Quad Core Minus 2 Cores?

I think this will be a good transition CPU for us that are still running old platforms. I was thinking of going Core i7 with X58 motherboard for the SLI/Crossfire flexibility, but then I saw Deneb and I am wondering what it will do...

Either way, for people like me both requires significant upgrades which means significant $$$ + some waiting time to avoid the price gouging at launch. This seems like the best option for the time being to squeeze some more life out of my M2N-SLI Deluxe with nForce 570

and it's 65nm which makes the whole thing even worse.
