19 September Launch Day for FX Series Processors
AMD's first wave of FX series high performance desktop processors will hit stores on 19 September, 2011, according to industry sources. On that day, AMD will launch two 8-core models: FX-8100 and FX-8150; a 6-core model, the FX-6100; and a 4-core part: FX-4100. The much yapped about "FX-8130P" that has been a CPU-Z screenshot favourite, is not a part of AMD's finalized lineup. Earlier it was rumored that models with the "P" brand extender were unlocked parts, but now it's emerging that all parts in the FX series are unlocked. Detailed specifications are tabled below.
In the first quarter of 2012, AMD plans its second round of product launches, which consist of faster models that display existing ones from their price-points. The FX-8170 will displace the FX-8150, the FX-8120 displaces FX-8100; FX-6120 displaces FX-6100; and FX-4120 displaces FX-4100. In the meantime, AMD is working with motherboard vendors to ensure adequate propagation of socket AM3+ motherboards, and more importantly, for DDR3-1866 MHz memory to become more affordable, since FX processors yield the most optimal performance with that memory speed.

you talking like you are the one of those RAM manufacturer who just got p*ssed by AMD wishes :D
We are in the final stretch here people. Real facts, real dates, and with a Sept. release we should get real benchmarks in late August to early Sept.
Now I need some quality 2133 Mhz RAM
A PLX chip so you can have 10Gb T base networking on your 5Mbit connection and some extra USB 3.0 ports to connect your phone, camera, camcorder, extra five external drives, USB mic, USB keyboard on 3.0 so you can l33t faster, and still plug in your xbox controller.
And lastly dual X16 crossfire as we all know W1zzards testing shows that anything less is
uncivilizeddoesn't make a damn bit of difference..www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_5870_PCI-Express_Scaling/
Yeah.............:rolleyes:
Troll Fail.
I have seen some of your threads, if you are willing to pay for that level of disk performance you should just pull out the stops and do it right and use SSD's and a external array, liquid cool it and use better RAM than you have been looking at.:)
I am sure Bulldozer will sweep Phenom II under the rug with ease, but can it compete with similarly prices 2600K is the question we all need answered.
Wow actual facts and release date that don't include the words somewhere. Can't. Pick on the dozerphiles anymore was fun while it lasted.:) now let's get serious with some performance #. Would b nice to think intel will drop prices on their. Mid and upper rage cpus, but they'll just release. A suped up unlocked i3/ i5 or something for a little more $ and undercut it. The battle goes on. Bring me more popcorn
those are freakishly bad.
i5 is okay.
But that performance gaps comes with a humongus price difference.
Does it mean that using a RAM with higher clock speed yield no additional performance ? :S
