Is there any confirming link of what "Dirk said" about whether Rev G (is/is not) a simple shrink; a link that does not pass through Japaneese translation?
Rev. G in the almost remains same functional core, as Rev. F the following "Hound (the hound)" does the large-scale architecture expansion of the K8 core in the family. AMD June 1st (the Japanese time June 2nd nighttime) with "AMD Technology Analyst Day", is the schedule which makes the CPU road map clear, but leading that, with the round table which is held in Japan it made part clear.

Are there any links to Analyst Day direct reports or slides that "make clear" what Rev G is?
I didn't see anything in the AMD Anlyst Day slides that "made the roadmap clear."

AMD's first desktop Revision G core, Brisbane, showed up on AMD's roadmaps just a few weeks ago. Brisbane, like Windsor, does not have two separate core distinctions for half-cache processors like with Toledo/Manchester. This processor family will come in two varieties; one with 2x1MB L2 cache and one with 2x512KB L2 cache.
Brisbane is a massively ambitious core. The Revision E Socket 939 platform consisted of San Diego, two versions of Toledo, Venus, Denmark and Venice. Yesterday AMD announced the Windsor dual-core and Orleans single-core desktop processors with the Santa Ana dual-core processor on the way. When Brisbane is announced later this year, all of these processor families will effectively take the backseat to Brisbane cores. [Might be wrong, but certainly inconsistent with simple shrink. ]
On "Rev GH". Might be a typo. Might not. Consider this: AMD is for some reason not ready to start K8L (by concensus Rev H ). Lot's of hand wringing/cat-calls that Rev G isn't enough and Rev H is too late. AMD Design Meeting: "Rev H isn't ready, but a couple of pieces are and we had an option a couple of months ago whether to include it in G. We need it now, so lets sandwich in a Rev between G and H. What should we call it?"
In support of typo: 3dnews.ru
Picture of ?discredited? Rev G and Rev H dies.
Question: where are the confirmed Rev G die photos?

"Future:.... On chip coprocessors", but no mention of direct connect coprocessors. Odd oversight considering 4x4 announcement at the same meeting.
