yep the x66s are K9s from previous unofficial roadmaps I have seen on the net and let's see if we can't get a quad-core out of the socket :-). K8 Opterons will probable end at 65nm and 2Mb.

Joe, yes, I'd expect K9 to have a new socket definition also. Always seem to be a need for new pins with new designs.
