I had an AMD presentation yesterday and I can second this news. There was no NDA involved and I heard a lot of great information like.. quad cores in 2007 obviously, FX-60 in very early January, M2 socket around middle of 2006 sometime with FX-62 and 5000+. And the new Opteron having 1207 pins.

Also some of you may already know, but it was news to me that there is a 939 pin Opteron 175 floating around out there in limited numbers, which is nearly identical to the X2 4400+ and goes for a bit cheaper.
