[Not a Short]

2.0 GHz with 512 cache should be enough to beat the old 939 pin 3000+ (1.8 GHz single core same cache) in single threaded apps and beat the 2.4 GHz single core 3800+ in a couple of multithreaded apps. Though it won't beat the 3800+ in every test, it'd be good enough for me.

The next question is: Will the 3200-3800 single core parts come down in price at the same time or will AMD lead/nudge the customer to dual core?

There will be some users that would prefer to have a 3500 single core instead of the 3800 dual core.
