also @ TechSpot: Samsung starts mass producing super fast PCIe SSDs for ultrabooks
AMD has kept a tight lid on its new hexa-core processor, so next week's unveiling should be interesting. To recap what we've heard about the chip: it will land in three iterations branded Phenom II X6 1035T, 1055T, and 1075T, all of which are 45nm-based and compatible with AM2+ and AM3 sockets, so they should work with existing motherboards -- though, a BIOS update might be required.
Earlier this month, we also heard that Thuban will have some form of hardware-based dynamic speed boost technology called "C-state performance boost," which would act similarly to the Turbo Boost feature found in some Core i5 and i7 processors.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
They sound hot and it's great being able to buy and place them on existing am2+ motherboards with a bios update ofcourse;-). I'll be buying one next year maybe for my M3A79-t deluxe motherboard(when there will be updated versions i geuss) or in 2012 with an AM3 motherboard using 890fx+850sb chipset. Really looking forward to it :-D.

I'll wait for the second and third revisions, or an APU. Things are getting fun again

I do not expect to see any third revision. Next year there is planned a totally new design (with probably a new socket) to replace this.
