I think the article misses the most interesting point: At least according to Tom's Hardware as well as heise.de, these new CPUs are - rather than "the last Athlon X2s" - actually the *first* dual-core processors based on AMD's K10 aka "Phenom" architecture. Probably they're even 4-core silicon, having two of the cores disabled.
Nothing seems to indicate that they're the last of anything: They do have some OC potential meaning higher clocked versions of the same chip might be coming; they might also be shrunk to 45nm while still being sold under the Athlon X2 brand.

Aside from this, keep up the good work, dear INQ!

They are doing good and will continue to do so.

Stop being a fanboy and look at the facts.
