AMD FX-57 To Arrive In Two Weeks?

The Inquirer is reporting that AMD's FX-57 CPU is likely to make an appearance in a couple of weeks. Probably at around the same time Nvidia unveil their latest graphics processor, the G70.
The CPU itself is a logical step for AMD: the Venice core proved to be a really good product in terms of yields and clocking capabilities, so seeing AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 running at a cool 2.81GHz wasn't such a suprise. The only thing that still bothers me was the fact that the CPU-Z read FSB clock at 247 MHz on a reference ATi Xpress 200 motherboard, but that's an obvious misread - I used v1.28, since the BIOS was showing 200 MHz HT link speed with x5 ratio.

Athlon 64 FX-57 will naturally phase out the sturdy Hammer FX-55, with whom AMD is saying good bye to 130nm technology, and having 90 nanometre process across the whole range, from Sempr0ns to dually-core Opterons.
