I think the 3 core idea is good. Because by adding odd numbers, you can have a 5 core CPU for example.
I am with the idea. However, I hope the next refresh of the Phenom offers better performance :) HT3 with DDR3 and 45nm might be the ticket!

Some people think a multicore processor with an odd number of cores is...well, odd. Others ridiculed AMD for making triple-core chips by disabling one core on a defective quad-core die. Intel CEO Paul Otellini cracked, "We see a distinct advantage in having all the cores on our dies work." Actually, there's nothing odd about an odd number of processors. For 30 years we've had PCs with only one processor, and that's an odd number. More at http://www.maximumpc.com/article/fast_forward_amds_odd_phenom Hmm...
