Unfortunately, Barcelona’s test results are “estimated performance” of the chip at 2.60GHz “based on internal AMD emulations”, whereas the first quad-core processors from AMD due to be available in September will only hit frequencies of up to 2.0GHz. ... no quad-core AMD Opteron products with higher than 2.0GHz clock-speeds are projected until Q4 2007.

Graphs shown are at 2.6GHz. How long before we see those in the channel? Why boast performance of a product you are not releasing? Oh, I know why -- some people won't notice the clock difference and buy the 2.0's thinking they are this fast. Sounds like an attempt at false advertising to me...
