That 6 core die photo is worth a centerfold poster (I'll be hitting tineye.com for a larger version ;-) I'd note that AMD's "more-for-less approach" has not been just about number of cores - little 'details' like ECC RAM, VT instructions, or even half-decent graphics in the chipset, have come in at lower price points, nearly down to the budget versions. P.S. TinEye doesn't seem to have the pic yet; a search for large images of "amd six core phenom die photo" gets hits (many fake, cf. http://aceshardware.freeforums.org/phenom-ii-x6-1090t-3-2ghz-with-3-6ghz-turbo-at-125w-t991.html http://aceshardware.freeforums.org/phenom-ii-x6-1090t-3-2ghz...).
