Phenom II Launch Off-Course, Say Sources
Last week, AMD stunned the computer enthusiast community by displaying the overclocking headroom the upcoming Phenom II processors could offer. Sources among channel vendors then leaked it to the press, that at least two models under the Phenom II banner await a January 8~10 launch schedule across various markets. Sources tell OC Workbench that they are very skeptical about its availability as early as in January. The sources said that they expect mass-availability of the processors only by March, or even as late as June 2009, in time for next year's Computex event.

6 months in a lifetime in h/ware world. AMD did this last time as well, and also did this with the 2900XT from memory.
I wonder where ocw got this info.
We will see what we will see. I don't put much stock in this hearsay,.....yet. January isnt that far off though so we will know soon enough.
The last time AMD (ATI) had a delayed video card launch they made up for it the next time around with a killer card, in quantity with reasonable low prices! AMD is due FTW.
