chr p, me too! I asked that question in more detail here -

So far, no answers (or speculations) posted. I just don't understand the entire 2005 lineup - why must AMD revise every processor just ahead of their expected K9 and 65nm/300mm rollout? Obviously, AMD knows they need to make the changes. Why a revised K8 on 90nm?

There may be a simple answer to this. Perhaps they need to try out certain ideas ahead of 65nm, or to perfect certain techniques for K9, or both. Maybe they know they will need certain changes for the anticipated speed requirements.

The whole thing seems strange.
