naming scheme - "AMD Phenom 9000 is quad core, and 8000 is tri-core"
Performance-wise - expect something around the Q6600 level (and similar performance/clockspeed), but with MUCH less overclocking headroom. Nonetheless, they should be priced pretty competitively and will be a definite option for new system builders - provided of course they don't plan on overclocking.
That being said, there is rumor we might see an Intel quadcore @ 4GHz (STOCK) in mid 2008.
