Here's a little cut and paste from the [H] (www.hardocp.com) about the possiblity of bartons for Valentine's day.
Bartons for All?
We have all seen the rumored mid-February launch of AMD Barton core CPUs talked about. After the last two AMD launches I am sure many of your are shaking your heads thinking, "Another paper launch, whoopteee whoop."
We have it on very good authority that the Barton launch will not be just another paper launch for AMD. Distributors are telling us to expect AMD Barton PIBs (Processor in a Box) carrying 2800+ and 3000+ ratings to be available and in stock in quantity by the middle of February.
Of course I know many of you OCers are wanting to know about the less robust Bartons carrying the 2500+ designations. It seems as if these will be hot OCers that will reach the 3000+ MHz levels, or that is what we are hearing, but is yet to be seen. We are still unsure of initial stocking levels or dates for these slower Barton CPUs, but of course we have our ears to the Ether. Anyone? Anyone?
All in all, AMD seems to be listening to you guys out there and is stepping up to the plate when launching new CPUs. I am sure this is something we are all happy to see.

See, AMD loves us :D
