It doesn't match with AMD's 3-5 frequency notches lower than top model remark from half a year back.

That seemed to get axed a while back. Apparently DSL lets them trade a little bit a frequency for a lot of power savings.

The dual Opterons are scheduled to launch at 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4GHz, and supposedly fit in 95W, so it seems reasonable that a 2 x 2.4GHz A64 can fit in 100W.

Also, it was 3 frequency notches lower for similar power, 5 lower for "low power".

Who knows... maybe they'll have 3GHz single core parts in Q3? :)
(2.8 is on the roadmap. That would be 2 grades ahead...)

"BTW, do you think that 2.4GHz number is true."

I hope so. If Newisys can scratch together a Horus demo at launch, it will be very nice...

As I posted to Doug, for a desktop launch they generally accumulate for a quarter before. So you are correct in finished wafers to launch. Dual core could be quicker, there aren't nearly as many needed as for desktops.
