Here's the news:

I guess 2.4 Ghz for 12 cores isn't bad. Also that quad channel memory controller seems pretty nice. How much bandwidth do you guys think this chip will have? Also, do you think AMD's Fusion APU and Bulldozer will have this quad channel controller?

If this holds its own against the 8 core Xenon then good news for AMD.

If AMD can resolve some of the cache latency issues with this "core" then it is looking to be a powerful upgrade for smaller system.
