Another very brief article linked from the one above says that AMD is expected to make a formal 65nm announcement next week. This is good considering how quiet they have been lately. Announcing 3.0ghz SC and 2.8ghz 2C chips this week certainly suggest that AMD has more bullets in the gun. Otherwise I would expect them to hold onto those CPUs as long as possible to have something new for later.

Maybe they want to support their sagging $33.59 stock price?
To top that all off AMD got a win with Cray for the largest cluster computer that will likely do one Petaflop. This thing is a monster with 24,000 QUAD cored Opterons. The more impressive thing is that these are going to be clocked at 2.6Ghz.
I did not know Charter was that far ahead of AMD. Well this came out of nowhere. I'm guessing these might be laptop chips. I really thing the Merom is going to be on shaky ground.

Intel's benchmark release of conroe affected AMD's stock, perhaps AMD will release benchmarks of their own.
It won't change much if anything. The tests done on socket AM2, comparing-it with the socket 939 on ddr, shows the processer being slower on ddr2 667 and losing some and winning some benches with ddr2 800.
AMD has been offering their software system to fabs and lisencing certain technology to them. this is the first time they offered their smallest architecture. Either they did not offer their best process or Charter is unable to manufacture the exotic process.
Charter is not ahead of anyone.
Cray was seriously looking at Intel's newer processors also. Their decision in more economic than performance.
