AMD executives described the three-core Phenoms as an effective way to sell quad-core Phenoms that had failed to run at their rated speed. However, rices of the new chips have not been disclosed yet, and it's unclear how a slower quad-core chip will be priced versus a faster triple-core Phenom.In September, AMD said that the triple-core parts were being referred to internally as "Toliman".
