Converted AMD Phenom series lemma article to a stub article.
Matt, our lemma articles are those which contain only a definition ... and are limited to one sentence. Since you added a second sentence and a reference, I converted the the lemma article into a stub article for you.
In doing so, I removed your added sentence from the definition and moved it onto the main stub article page. Also, we don't put references or hyper-links to a reference in the article's main body of text. Instead, we put them into a "References" section at the bottom of the article with only a pointer to them in the article's body of text. So I also did that for you.
You can learn about formatting references at these two articles: List-defined references and Help:Index/Formatting/References.
I hope this is helpful. Milton Beychok 21:58, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
