AMD has said on the record that Phenom FX will be the first unlocked Phenom and that it will start shipping at 2.6GHz. This part is scheduled for Q1 2008 and there will also be a version for Quad FX systems with eight cores.

Until then, we will be stuck with slower CPUs and 3GHz is not even on the map.

It doesn't look too good for AMD, but what can you do?
