how do you know DC Turion isn't coming out in January? DC opteron was originally targted for 2nd half 2005, but launched in April. January certainly must be considered "early 2006" - no?

Keith, it is not 31W TDP, but rather, 31-50W TDP. You've been hyping Yonah for some time now... it reminds me a little bit of your 2MB L2 Prescott performance claims vs. reality.

Well they make sense to me ;-). The reasons why people currently buy Turions will still be relevant when Yonah comes out : they are 64-bit, they are the best-performing, they are cheaper. Yonah only cements Intel's current strengths not encroach on AMD's ;-).
