bad news for all AMD lovers. AMD have cancelled the thuban based X4, namely Phenom II X4 960T. currently, only news out is it'll be limited to OEM, who will pair it with motherboards that can't unlock its hidden cores (can't even try to). maybe by Q3-Q4 of this year, they'll change their mood, just hope. else unlocking game seems to be almost over, at least for the uber greedy ones

X4 940T
where did it came from? there were not suppose to be any proccy by such names. only quad core to support Turbo should have been X4 960T. or was there any? will check later.i'll consider this a good move. else 2-3 proccy available at same price i.e. 960T, 1055T & 965 will cause more confusion rather than solving any.

just now goggled & found there were suppose to be a 940T. however as 960T cancelled, theres no chance of a 940T.

according news just in, X4 960T delayed undefinitely not cancelled or so. maybe AMD's yield has improved so not enough 960T to sell. if its true, we should see another price cut in thuban based proccy soon. maybe X6 1055T available for 8k.

these lowering of prices is only confusing me day by day
if i have chosen x4 945 at 7k,then in future i'll say "sirf 1 hazar aur deta to x6 khareed leta"

UPS? well atleast i can say my system better than someone. for now my pc was like Rated K.
for now its 9.5k (without tax & all). so 8.5k, by summer vacation. will be good deal. moreover beats i5 only in threaded apps. so 1k less for loosing in single threaded apps not a bad compromise.
and i feel they won't have any loss selling a entry level X6 @ 8k.
BTW, what about the IGP OC? tried?
