Yes, that's why I added the question mark. It really doesn't make much sense for AMD to be converting processors that will be discontinued to 90nm. AMD usually adds the caveat "As market requires". Still AMD's latest roadmap shows the same thing with 130nm 1-8 Opterons and Athlon Mp's possibly extended.

Given the cost advantages and performance advantages of the E0 steppings it's hard to see a need for these products after q205. Q205 looks to be the end of 130nm for all paractical purposes.
