FX-Series Processors Clock Speeds 'Revealed'
On several earlier articles like this one, we were versed with the model numbers and even possible prices of AMD's next-generation FX series desktop processors, but the clock speeds stayed under the wraps, that's until a table listing them out was leaked. AMD's FX-series consists of eight-core FX-81xx parts, six-core FX-61xx, and quad-core FX-41xx parts, probably harvested out of the Zambezi silicon by disabling modules (groups of two cores closely interconnected with some shared resources). Most, if not all, FX series chips have unlocked multipliers, making it a breeze to overclock them. All chips come in the AM3+ package, feature 8 MB of L3 cache, and 2 MB L2 cache per module.
Leading the pack is FX-8150, with a clock speed of 3.6 GHz, and TurboCore speed of 4.2 GHz, a 500 MHz boost. The next chip, FX-8120, has a boost of close to a GHz, it has a clock speed of 3.1 GHz, that goes all the way up to 4 GHz with TurboCore. This will be available in 125W and 95W TDP variants. Next up is the FX-8100, with 2.8 GHz clock speed, that goes up to 3.7 GHz, another 900 MHz boost. The scene shifts to 6-core chips, with FX-6120, no clock speed numbers were given out for this one. FX-6100, on the other hand, is clocked at 3.3 GHz, with 3.9 GHz Turbo. The FX-4100 is the only quad-core part with clock speeds given out by this source: 3.6 GHz, with a tiny 200 MHz boost to 3.8 GHz. You can see that there is no pattern in the turbo speed amounts specific to models, and hence we ask you to take these with a pinch of salt.

I've had both intel and Amd so im no fanboy
You know how pissed I was getting a B2 9950 when the B3 9950 came out the day after I was like Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
But, then I upgraded to the C3 965BE and everything was alleviated after 1 year of living with a overheating cpuYou're still a fanboy...You never owned VIA
Which of course BEATS Intel and AMD
I'm joking ofcourse lol
Get the lowest TDP model @ release of the FX 8-Cores
Plug it into a Crosshair V Formula or wait for the Crosshair V Extreme
Now get a PSU that has 2 8pin EPS preferable 1200 Watts+with atleast 100+ Amps on a single 12 volt line
Now get the Corsair H100, get 4 fans with pretty extreme static pressure for 120x120x25mm
Set FSB/PEG/whatever from 200 to 300
Turn off CNQ/Turbocore/other features that throttle
Set Multiplier from stock to 20x to 21.5x
Enjoy 6.45GHz
450-500 Watts Power Consumption
Now take this with a grain of salt though but it is completely feasible

I'd stick my whole comp in the snow and freeze my ass just to see those clocks rise.
tho prob not:p
does anyone have the slightest clue about bulldozer/990x chipset compatabillity with pciex 3??
as pciex3 mobos are starting to get mentioned and this might further delay my concern with BD ie might wait even longer then release etc.:confused:
But I must say, who cares about PCIe 3.0 right now, anyway?
:laugh:
J/K.
Ohh and she's only 21 :rockout:
I find it interesting how the title of this thread has "revealed" in quotes.
So, uh, this is more AMD BS?
but today can be a challenge, 32c atm
On an AMD forum no less.

I want to hear about the yield's and what % they're at for B2
EDIT: Nevermind. The autodetect language failed and told me to use norwegian in the first place, it seems it swedish... Aaannd LOL! Hahaha. Intel appears out of nowhere then. I guess the original article says "intel" as in saying "sources".
EDIT2: And no. It seems that google translates AMD as Intel, when the source is swedish at least, no matter the target language. :laugh:
