Until we see the reviews all of this is still not official . But gives us a ballpark though. And by the looks of it it's not THAT awesome or anything special,but it's not that bad either. It's competitive enough with 2600K and it allows great OCing on air and even better on sub zero. For 245$ it is pretty good I have to say.
From past experience with these slides and briefings, I do believe that "FX" is infact FX-8150. I'd be more then happy if I was wrong though.

I think it looks good for a $245 CPU like you said. But it would've looked even better (in my mind atleast) if it was marketed as a Quad, not Octo-core
