According to this Chinese tech-site, AMD will change to a five digit model number for its upcoming 45nm processors. The chart below supposedly lists the processors and model number changes:

Oh my poor head. Having to keep up with all the AMD and Intel numbers. What I wouldn't give for the good old days of simply going by MHz and GHz.
The 20550 seems to be coming out fairly soon. I'll be looking around for reviews on that processor.
I can't wait to have a 20550, GTX1260, DDR3 2133, 790FX build.
Did I just pick lottery numbers?
Call me when they make a CPU faster and cheaper than a Q6600. Until then I can't count the ways I don't give a shit.
If I was going to rename my processor I would do something that would be a little bit more future proof, like SSS=Socket, CC=Cores, GG=GHz, NN=nm, X=Revision number (if any):
SSS CC0GGNN Rev. X
Wrong!Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9650 3GHz ,LGA775,1333MHz,45nm, 12MB, BOXED w/fan 140W
AMD Phenom X4 20550 3GHZ 6MB cache 4GHZ HT AM2+ 45 NM 4 MB l3 4x512KB l2 /W Fan 125 W
Maybe they can move to hex: DEADBEEF
The 20550 seems to be coming out fairly soon. I'll be looking around for reviews on that processor. It'd be a nice replacement for my aging 5000+ processor.
I'd wait for the AM3 version but all my RAMs are DDR2-800. AM3 won't work with it, won't it?

Yeah but then you'd have trouble convincing people that a Dual Core 2.66GHz is faster than a Pentium 4 3 GHz because of the dual core and parallel processing.

There you go..
the clock cycles shouuld make the amd sliiightly ahead in terms of performance vs wattage.
Yeah, AMD's strong suit was they built a better, faster, chip that made less heat and cost less. When you fail on all your selling points... it's hard to sell chips.
amd may have built faster/cooler chips.. but intels have always been more stable.. whether that be the chipset or the chip itself is debatable..
This is the stupidest thing i have ever heard.
