AMD Phenom II shipping to distributors this month

The new AMD Phenom II processors are shipping to distributors starting December 29th.  They will be available for purchase by the 2nd week of Jan 2009.  Softpediareports that there will be two flavors, Phenom II 940 at 3GHz and Phenom II 920 at 2.8GHz.  Didn’t Intel already go through 920 and 940 naming schemes with their Pentium D lineup a couple years ago?  Oh well, hopefully they’ll finally hit the nail on the head this time around, unlike the first Phenom’s.
