"P" can be some as "premium" or "performance". Because all FX models are unclocked

Could be many things:

-More cache
-More turbo
-More clock speed differential (ie a 200mhz increment over lower parts which are 100mhz in between)
-Premium package (beefier cooler, special warranty, special stickers etc)

Not necessarily mutually exclusive.

**FlanK3r** · 06-17-2011, 06:30 AM

ah, it will be premium package, because we seen special metal BOX for the top model...

**informal** · 06-17-2011, 06:42 AM

Higher Turbo is my guess.

**FlanK3r** · 06-17-2011, 10:27 AM

this is possible too, but metal BOX is next bonus

....Im looking forward so

+1

I would buy it even if it was slower than phenom, just to get that box

**Nintendork** · 06-17-2011, 03:31 PM

Any cpu fan will show those metal boxes with pride.

**=SOC= Admiral** · 06-17-2011, 03:35 PM

So now with some performance numbers and stock clocks somewhat known or guessed I think Im going to redesign my next computer build around these cpus. And I really want to see what the Crosshair V Extreme will have on it. At least I know my build will probably be less than building an Intel would be even with these boards and SLi.

They look competitive? Bulldozer looks like all kinds of fail to me so far.

I would say it depends on how you look at it. If I wanted to build an Intel system it would cost me more. Its also a new architectural and a manufacturing process. But that being said I say that they are doing extremely well. For bang for your buck AMD is the best. I personally have a limited fund of money as a college student.

Sorry I should have added /sarcasm to my comment

**rintamarotta** · 06-18-2011, 07:17 AM

First factor why i will be buying few of Zambezi FX-8xxxP chips is due that box, i want that metal box, one for candy, one for lollipops, one for screws and so on..!!
Second is Zambezi performance beating SB 2600K as well as i7 990x with ease.

Also i will be buying alot of Interlagos chips, by alot i mean 50+ for my servers, hopefully they will also come in that metal box so i will be lord of Bulldozer metal boxes.
Going to be rebuild of whole server farm and make my self AMD Bulldozer Metal Box computer case.

**LowRun** · 06-18-2011, 07:59 AM

I'm not sure but i think the lighting in one of the Bulldozer metal box pic revealed a hole on one side, would be risky as a candy/screw box then.

**rintamarotta** · 06-18-2011, 08:14 AM

I could put small plastic bag in those boxes, candy or screws would not get trough that hole

.

Think the hole is there because of protection from moisture.

Great post, i now have two radically different quotes to put in my sig :-D .Im betting that yours is gonna be true or at least closer to reality.However at least one person gonna look failish after BD premiere.

I save up. Im currently saving to build a Bulldozer system but it wont be when they come out. Im still paying my CC bill for the C4E and am almost done with that. My GPUs have either been bought using EVGA stepup or when they were cheap on the egg. But yes this is a good setup and I would like the new stuff but saving up is what I do when I want a new piece of hardware because I like paying for it in full. Cant wait to see how you guys do with the BDs as far as clocks. Wont be buying under the top CPU again because my 1055 didnt clock like I would have liked.

Utter nonsense. AMD/Intel systems are pretty much identical in pricing.

The only difference is the margins of profit.
