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.

Midget wrestling not my thing
I never noticed it before!!!
Did you guys see in the Zambezi pin side has two extra pins
I totally blew over it just wanted to tell everyone JUST NOW did I notice there are two extra pins
Edit: Never mind, you can read it when you expand the pic. :o
It was leaked by some person called "Pink Pig" lol
Because, I remember in OBRs video and he took a picture of the back as well
and AMD is the only one that still use the PGA design, Llano has a huge hole in it
OBR/Pink Pig/SunnyKFC all have Engineer Samples but they aren't showing benchmarks
OBR took it to himself to smudge benchmarks for teh LULZ
They have a CPU and it is a Engineer Sample
Pink Pigs is an A1
OBR has B0/B1s
SunnyKFC has B0s
They are all basically the same rofl
So is it a bulldozer or an Athlon X2?
Edit - I'm drunk so i might not be
If it was all these people buy the AM3 White Socket with BIOs upgrades are screwed
I see it never mind
Am I correct that he was always an Intel fanboy? If I'm not, disregard the following statement.
If so (Deal with me here for a moment, I've been watching a lot of Scooby Doo today.) the only reason he would post false benchmarks would be to protect Intel. If they were worse, he could show them for a laugh. We already know that he is not under NDA.
Now I just need to find someone to unmask.
