AMD has a fixed date for its socket AM2 launch. We can now finally confirm that AMD has decided to rename its socket and to call it socket AM2. All of the dual core performance, mainstream and extreme gaming versions of the AM2 CPUs will sample by the end of this month.
As of Tuesday, June the 6th, you will be able to buy these CPUs in the stores.

Waiting anxiously... I only wish they could've gone with DDR3. They probably didn't to keep their budget minded consumer base.
