Are the Thoroughbreds really that good? From what I have read, they are not much
more than Palomino cores shrunk down to 0.09 microns. If you want a cache
improvement, you'll have to wait for Barton, which is due to be released
(according to AMD's roadmap) very close to Hammer-time (sorry -- Opteron-time).
Clock speeds won't increase by very much, but I'm sure the shrunken die will
make overclocking a bit safer.
