Most likely Deneb (can't choose 2.8ghz or 3.0ghz yet). I'll probably have to wait and see. If Deneb does flop, then I'll just pick up one of the current Phenoms on the cheap. Probably the 9650 or the 9950. No point getting a 125tdp CPU, if it ain't the best you can get.
By then Phenoms will probably be around $100~$120. Since Deneb will push their prices down a bit.
Yeah I realize Intel outperforms AMD by quite a bit. But AMD seems to have the price/performance edge when it comes to Quad Cores right now. The Q6600 was slaughtering Phenoms, but with the new bad batches. It gets out performed by the 9950.
