AMD 3GHz three core coming soon

Phenom II X3 740
AMD should be launching one more three core CPU based on Heka 45nm three core, which is nothing more than Deneb with one core disabled.
The currently available Phenom II X3 720 at its 2.8GHz is selling for about €90 in Europe or in the states $119.00 including free shipping and this baby will soon get its 3.0GHz sibling.
The new CPU will be under the Phenom II X3 740 brand and its specs include 3.0GHz speed and 7.5MB of total cache but we don’t know the launch price as of yet.
It should hit retail by the end of Q3 2009 but as we still don’t know the date, we can only guess it's September.
