So where is Propus?

[DrMrLordX]

That chip could answer a lot of questions we have about k10's NB limitations. Is it the cache or is it something else?

A 45W EE part was supposed to be release in Q2 2009, with other Propus parts in Q3. Q2 is almost over; did I miss something?

Apparently there are listings for Propus somewhere online and also on MSI's board compatibility list. Making it semi-official and therefore I expect it quite soon. Probably at Computex in June. Also listed are more tri-cores and some dual-cores.

June/July. Hopefully as soon as possible and then let's the price fight start again ;]

Figuring out when these things will release is just a headache on its own. There has been so many rumors about how long its been delayed, when it'll really come out, if the e series will release sooner than the regular etc etc etc. It really seems to be anywhere from now until September to expect these things out. I'm hoping they come out soon, I want to throw one into my HTPC.

Same here, I'm waiting on particularly on the Athlon X4 605e 45W for my server and the Phenom II X4 905e 65W for my HTPC.

Fudzilla says they're apparently listed on some online stores, but I haven't seen a trace of them so far.

Nothing's showing up for the X4 605e on froogle but that doesn't mean much. The chips may be available in limited quantities in some markets but I am not seeing them on American soil. Maybe I'm just blind.

Good job finding them on that MSI compatibility list though. That's real evidence that the chips will be available soon(ish).
