Taken from TheInq report:
"Basically, the chips will be standard A64 X2s with at least 1 ccHT link not turned off so they can talk. If there is any special sauce, AMD did not talk about it , and I would not expect any earth-shattering jumps in performance on single- or low-threaded games. AMD also said the concept will carry over to eight cores, two quad-core chips, but they won't be called 8X4."

Thats a reporter from The Inquirer, and his words, not an official AMD line. Assuming he was at the meeting, and saw what was shown with his own eyes...it might actually be true?
