AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

[informal]

I was saying the same thing when this point was brought up initially. It doesn't make sense to release a flawed product to bad press.

I still say something doesn't add up, unless the FX-6100 ( I assume 4 cores 6 threads) I'm eyeing is only slightly better than a 1090t; but anyone expecting a SB killer is going to be "disappointed."

FX6100 with the leaked specs (3.3Ghz stock/3.9GhzT),and if these 8150 performance number are true, has no chance against Thuban 1100T. In MT apps it will lose hands down to 1100T,now that 8150 barely manages to beat it, while in ST it will score lower than 1100t @ 3.7Ghz (which is its max Turbo). Potential buyers are left with higher OC headroom though. If FX6100 can go to ~5Ghz on air than it might be a solid alternative to 1100T,but even at close to 4.8-5Ghz it will be slower or on par with 4Ghz Thuban.

edit: I have no clue how AMD can ask 190-200$ for FX6100 versus 200$ for 1100T. Thuban is being EOLed ,true,but we should expect that its price will go down after the FX launch so it makes even less sense to price FX6100 at the present level of 1100T now that we "unofficially" know how 8150 performs...
