I for my part will wait for FX4 ^^ Cheap and I assume easily OCable@5GHz, because there are only 2 modules ;-)
That's enough for me.

Not sure it's the best choice for you if 5GHz is your goal. It's most probably the same Orochi die with 2 modules disabled. Usually not because those modules are broken, but that the die has subpar electrical properties, so that with all the modules enabled it wouldn't fit in the 125W TDP class. Hence the realtively high TDP.

EDIT: But, who knows... Perhaps it's still capable of 5GHz, but at a higher voltage, which results in a considerably higher power draw (compared to that if you get an FX 8150 and disable two modules manually or set only the 2-module turbo clock high).

BTW, just heard GloFo is turning most if not all of their 45nm lines to 32nm. Wouldn't think they will do that if BD was such a disappointment...
