    Does anyone have any idea when the AMD PhenomII 925 quad core CPU is expected to hit the retail market? It is already in OEM channels as HP is building it into some of their towers. It's a 2.8ghz, 6MB L3 cache, at 95w TDP. It's this 95w that makes it so appealing as those of us with AMD780 chipset motherboards can use this CPU; the 780 chipset has a limitation of 95w which puts some of the higher end CPUs out of reach. AMD recently made the PhenomII 945 available in a 95w version which is greatly appreciated, but I have seen no info about the retail release of the 925 other than it was supposed to be in April 2009, which has obviously come and gone. I have located one outfit selling the 925 (link: http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop...011003000502_BBU0886P.shtml&order_id=!ORDERID! ) but it's over $220US which seems a bit high.... any news or comments will be appreciated!
