Re: As the parts have a QS rating I don't think they ever will be announced separately on OEM sites but merely slotted in where appropriate on currently selling models.

There ought to be certain ways to tell the 65nm parts. For one thing, HP and Dell are only using AM2 skus right now, so the 4000+, 4400+, and 4800+ would only be 65nm. Currently, neither HP or Dell offers these models, even as a choice with future ship date. That strongly suggests that the parts aren't even en route, because both Dell and HP have offered skus with longer ship dates in the past.

FWIW, I am aware that AMD plans a hard toggle of 65nm as soon as these start shipping, so it won't take long for the transition to really be obvious. But in the mean time, they still launched a product for which there is absolutely zero volume and zero indication of becoming available in the next couple of weeks.
