AMD’s Next-Gen High-End Desktop Platform to Feature Six-Core Chips, Due in Q2 2010 - The first desktop six-core microprocessors from Advanced Micro Devices code-named “Thuban” are scheduled to arrive rather sooner than later, according to sources with knowledge of the matter. In fact, AMD does its best in order to release its Phenom II X6 central processing unit (CPU) in Q2 2010.
The world’s second largest developer of x86 chips plans to start shipping its AMD Phenom II X6 “Thuban” processors in the second quarter of next year, according to sources familiar with AMD’s roadmap. Presently it was thought that AMD would only start shipping its six-core desktop chips sometimes in Q3 2010, considerably later than its rival Intel Corp., which is set to release its six-core Core i9 “Gulftown” processors in the second quarter. However, AMD seems to continue its trend of launching its products rather earlier than later, which was started by Shanghai and Istanbul processors.

This is a very nice processor http://bit.ly/catC6m for the money. Much, much faster than my other pentiums and athlons, and for only 50-60 bucks, seems like a no bainer. I can edit photos/video, surf web and burn CD's/DVD's with no problems (processor in the 50% to 60 range). Even during heavy multitasking the radiator stays cool to the touch with the stock fan, not even warm at all.
