Da Fudzilla:
K10 that we’ve seen at a few places at the show works at 1.6 GHz and not higher. It looks like the current working revision is stable, cool and great at this particular speed.
If you go any higher you end up with a heath and stability problem and that’s why they needed a new revision that should be ready shortly.
Things are not that great with K10, Barcelona and pushing it back to Q4 won’t help the company’s financial status.

We had a chance to witness that K10, Barcelona, an Opteron 2200 series actually runs at 32 Celsius after a full load on a CPU.
This is not bad and we are talking about server cooling that is never that fancy as on the CPU and the Barcelona still remains a cool chap. This is really a nice score for a quad core CPU under a load and the server people will like it.
The only question that remains is how far they will be able to push it with this TDP.
