Phenom B3 stepping?

[SlowSpyder]

Does anyone know when AMD is expected to release the next stepping of the Phenom? I plan on doing a new build in the not to distant future, and was just curious. Thanks.

Inquirer claims late q1 early q2

"Basically there is no B4, there won't be a B4, and the next stepping is Cx. The Cx parts are the 45nm Shanghai cores, so the B3 will be the end of the line for 65nm. B3s are going to be sampling in the not so distant future, production in the end of Q1, and retail availability in Q2."

As always with inq=grain of salt

"Second quarter 2008"? That's April 1st to 30 June. Note: I would not start holding my breath on April 1st. Also, if someone tells you they have one for you on April 1st, you might want to be a bit suspicious about that....and look for candid cameras.

The B3 processors are slated for production late in the first quarter, with mass availability scheduled for Q2.
