What happened to AMD's Core 4 desktop cpu's?

I thought these were supposed to be released by now, yet nothing as of yet?

The server chip Barcelona will be released on that day. Phenom X4 is the
desktop 4 core CPU that is scheduled for release 60 - 90 days after
Barcelona.

Thank you Wes and None. I appreciate the update. I am going to build a new
system, but was waiting until AMD came out with their quad-core cpu. I
don't need a server quality system, but I want a top notch gaming system. I
am thinking of a Crossfire/quad-core + 4(512GB) Raid 0 with 8GB or DDRAM2 or
even DDRAM3 if I can wait, LOL.

Should have been of, not or.

Something to keep in mind, few games can make use of two
cores, much less four, and I doubt this will change in the
next six months. And you have to use a 64 bit OS to take
advantage of more than 3 gigs of ram, which brings driver
problems into the mix.

I'm an old fart and don't game and don't own any games. But I can't
help but notice that gamers are always pushing the limits of their
hardware. So here's my question: Why aren't some PC games made to run
without the overhead of Windows? Why don't they have a minimal OS
they can boot from and avoid the bloat of Windows?
