AMD plans some cheaper K10 chips in Q1 next year and they will also work in intervals from 1.8 to 2.4 GHz with faster versions possible at later date.
This CPU should not end up slower in the everyday work
compared to the similar clocked K10 Agena processors as the games and other 80
percent of applications around can not see any benefits from the additional two
cores.
Kuma can reach even higher clock speeds but that wont happen
in Q1 as AMD needs a new revision to be able to reach higher speeds.
