Well here is a chart that shows some of the CPUs AMD has in the works, dates are always changing so take those as an estimate most of all..

Yeah, I saw this before.

unfortuately, the toledo dual core won't be a high-end solution. Amd says its single cores will be their flagship products for this year.

This contradicts intels decision with the extreme edition smithfield which is dual core being intels flagship. Intel may one-up AMD tis year. Hmm.

Also, AMD users can keep socket 939 for the toledo while intel users must upgrade to the 955 chipset. This means the dual core for AMD will be stuck with limited bandwidth issues.

Hmm, I am really wondering the our of the gate performance of the Dual core though, I hear someone say that (at least the AMD line) first gen dualies will not be targeted for an "enthusist" user but more mainstream. Might see a good overclock decrease too becase you will have 2 cores one could be the best OCer and the other not and limiting you.... I wonder if there will be an option/way to overclock each core separat but that would require two buses?

It probably would require two buses. It depends on how AMD implements dual cores. Yeah, the toledo is not a high-end card. Its a mainstream card. the fx-57 (single core) will be AMD's flagship card.
