This might cost them a bit.....I've seen an abnormally high volume of console players starting to buy PCs for BF3 (as well as pc gamers upgrading).......could have been nice to get it on shelves for the beginning of the month.

interesting that the new additions are at the higher frequencies. does that mean theyre getting higher stable clock speeds than they previiously thought?
and does it also mean that theyll overclock like an angry honey badger pouncing on a wounded leg? (very fast ;))

Yeah I was hoping to get my rig up'ed with a BD chip before BF3 comes out so I could gve the chip a good run and justify me buying a 8 core chip :)
