I hope this is true, All this bulldozer news (speculation) is doing my head in.

[god_43]

wow nice fully modular psu on that website! yay for coolmaster!

[Hondacity]

the pics are real...lol

[mav2000]

Finally...i like that packaging with the CH V...is that for the media or something?

[JkS]

I like the fact that the packaging had this in it.

I'd like a jeans belt made out of that

[Kuroimaho]

With a belt buckle, now that's quite unique. Is that some sort of press kit or does it go on sale ? Seems like a pretty well done marketing there. If only it were a return of the K8 era people would be fighting for them. Well we can still wish.

nice retail pack! I want one to my hands

[Chickenfeed]

Totally photoshoped!

Seriously though, blinging container. I like how AMD does PR, we had pictures of these months ago but little to nothing on the cpus themselves. It's like "Hey guys we have no info for you but look at these bad ass processor tin boxes!" Quite amusing. At least they are something practical that you can keep and use, not just another box to throw out.

[Kuroimaho]

I really doubt those are tin boxes.

[spicypixel]

Im going to be miffed if the steel tin has a huge hole in the side for showing the cpu, wanted to use it store stuff in

Well what then, aluminium?

Seen that pic throw around before. But this is the first time I hear anything about it being bundled with the CPU. Awesome if true, but I just find it highly unlikely...?
Unless its not a belt buckle at all, and just a small sticker.

I think it's just a case badge

[Kuroimaho]

It's almost as large as the cpubox, and it is curved, I think it is a belt buckle.

Ahh, so its a review package, not a retail one. Well that would explain it

Edit: need to ebay me one of those

[SubZero.it]

Is also the 8100 95W coming that day?

How do you know it is a review package ? As I recall Anand usually got cpus in some plain plastic boxes.

No, in the leaks I read they claim it will launch later than the 125W models.

Well, unless AMD have started to bundle their CPU's with motherboards, or Asus have started to bundle their boards with CPU's, I think its pretty safe to say its a promo/review package
Just as they've done with previous launches, high end Asus board paired with AMD CPU. Sent out for reviews, competition prizes, advanced users etc as promo.

only for reviewers.... NOT FAIR!!!!!!
lets all not forget that this is the return of the FX name, hopefully this means they offer some cool things like this bundle package.

[PatRaceTin]

i like paper box

if AMD can sell those FXs cheaper

[zalbard]

Isn't it a bit too expensive of a package when it comes to price/performance oriented chip?
Or is that a limited edition?

[Mech0z]

Still no word on NDA ?

[Etihtsarom]

Well that does it, FX-8150+Scorpion Belt Buckle > Intel CPU.
