    Sure thing. Here you go:

    FX-8130P = $320
    FX-8110 = $290
    FX-6110 = $240
    FX-4110 = $190
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    I wouldn't trust this info. 99% likely that this is just yet another rumour.
    I suppose the top model should be unlocked. Guess this is the difference between FX8130P and FX8110 (that and TDP).

    The top model is also a speed bump of 0.2MHz.

    If the pricing is real, that slots the top FX8 inbetween i7-2600 and 980x? Thats would be pretty good for AMD!

    It should be faster than a stock 980X, otherwise it's a flop... It's been out for over a year, and there are a bunch more Intel chips coming in Q3-Q4.

    TDP:
    97 W
    96 W
    95 W
    125 W

    Really?

    But the prices doesn't surprise me at all. BD would have to be a lot faster than the 2600K and near future speed bumps to actually become much more expensive.

    the TDP numbers are like that because he used excel and it incremented them by 1, rather than pasting the 95 over and over again. thats what im betting atleast

    Or he is just trolling you guys since there is virtually 0 information around and the release date is close. Playing on the anticipation to get site hits, etc.

    If these are in anyway accurate, it means two things.

    1. AMD doesn't want to compete with 980X.

    2. AMD believes that it's 4 module/8 core top end FX can at least equal the i7 2600K performance-wise.

    lol. why does it have to be faster than 980x? so if VW releases a new golf 2 years after mercedes releases a SLK, the golf has to be faster than the SLK?

    one word for you: price range.

    That's two words. I'll reply with two words as well: "lagging behind".
    They manage to catch up just to get stomped by IB in mid range (possibly partially SB as well, it beats 980X in quite a few cases) and SB-E in top range.
    So much for the BD hype and all those long years of waiting and development.

    Well done.

    How about quiting the fanboy talk and wait for some real numbers, huh?

    2600K does beat a 980x is some benchmarks. In those where it doesn't, BD is very likely to do much better. See Cine R10 numbers from OBR as an example. 980x stock beaten there.

    If you look at average scores in desktop apps, 980x is just a tiny bit faster than 2600K(around 5% or less).This is because desktop workloads are not as parallel as server ones. If Bulldozer is faster than 2600K on desktop,in such "non-parallel" world,as its price indicates(320>295$),then it means it should be close or faster than 980x too.Just logic. Now,whether it will manage to beat or tie 980x in truly parallel desktop workloads,like WCG,rendering etc. is yet to be seen.

    That's true. 980X doesn't make any sense at all for desktop/gaming rigs

    As far as the pricing, I doubt the 8core would be that cheap, on release.

    no. im german, born in stuttgart (the cars was invented there, its home of mercedes & porsche) and living in munich (bmw). so car analogies = the best thing ever. everyone knows cars, so its easy to understand.

    no, BD wont lagg behind. it depends what u r doing with it. server will rock.

    Two more words would be trash talk, stop.

    the example though is not really matching. no one would expect that a car changes enough in 2 years to beat something thats worth +5x the price. cpu depreciation is like 50% a year, for cars its like 10% (until a certain point it becomes a classic and then prices go up)

    i dont disagree with car analogies, but the pricing method for both is way too different. lets imagine if the next corvette that came out somehow stripped its weight by 1000lbs and kept its 50k$ price tag, and was faster than any lamborghini, does that mean it will reduce all lambo's prices down to 40k? no, because one is a production car and one is a supercar thats made in limited quantities.

    with cpus, the size of the chip, and the process are the 2 biggest factors. 300mm2 on 32nm should be pretty close to each other (10-20% performance), just because a car costing 20k$ or 200k$ both have 3000lbs of steel does not mean they are built anywhere near the same way and can have vastly different performance (5x the horsepower)

    How come the 95 wat version is cheaper than the 125 watt version. Usually it was the other way around

    If the i7 2600k and top FX have similar price and stock performance, but intel keeps the best overclocking potential things can go bad. Their success on that price bracket will depend a lot on that.
    Phenom I X4s also had great value @stock and were priced competitively to 775s, but the OC potential of a Q6600 was no match and current SB Ks set the goal very high. I hope BD can really dominate a 2600k in multitasking, so it won't depend on that.
