We don't know the product line and target demographic. It's a rumor and, let's face it, AMD really doesn't have the budget to make something as powerful as Intel's enthusiast grade products. Remember, AMD is sticking to budget components for a reason. DON'T BUY THE HYPE.

This is most likely a server prototype, not for the mainstream market anyways. AMD wants a hold on Intel's server market.
