AMD FX 8120 Listed on Ukrainian Store
Less than a week ahead of its launch, a Ukrainian online store named Fixer started listing the AMD FX 8120 eight-core processor PIB (FD8120FRGUBOX). The store is listing the FX 8120 at 1791 UAH (US $223.5). According to the source, FX 8120 stocks arrived at Fixer's warehouse on the 5th of this month, and the product is listed since. The variant listed is the one with 95W TDP, there is a 125W TDP variant, too. It remains to be seen how the two variants spread across distribution channels. The FX 8120 is based on the Bulldozer micro-architecture, it features 8 cores, 16 MB total cache, and a nominal clock speed of 3.1 GHz (which can go up to 4 GHz with TurboCore). A worldwide launch of the AMD FX Processor family is expected on October 12.

Why would anyone test a Bulldozer processor with 1333 MHz RAM when you are not comparing it to anything else? Just this is what you get, so I will use RAM far below the processors specs cause that is realistic numbers. If that is the case, he should compare the performance to an i7 2500K running some 1066 MHz RAM.
But I agree that all these leaks can't be trusted prior to launch.
I tried it out, and it took 38 seconds on my Phenom 9550,
Or 1 minute 17 seconds using power saving profile (when this profile is active the 9550 runs at 1Ghz)
Considering that BD can underclock to less than 1Ghz in powersaver profile, this could prove the low score, if that profile was used during the test.

I presume most people would like to get their hands on the FX-8170 or at least the FX-8150

Nah, cinebench isn't crooked at all.
And if you need reference why intel only optimized code is crooked (if not criminal)

Any body have this CHV figured out yet?
Im @ 4.5GHz on the Crosshair V Mobo....
1090T X6 Proc.
Bulldozer seems very weak
How many of you posting benchmarks that you claim to be absolute in this thread would stake $5 on them?
