AMD Releases FX-4130 "Vishera" Quad-Core Processor
AMD introduced the FX-4130 value quad-core processor. Although slotted in the 4100 series, which suggests it being based on the older "Zambezi" silicon, the new FX-4130 is in fact based on the newer "Vishera" silicon, and the "Piledriver" micro-architecture. AMD is following a competitive (price-performance) approach to its CPU lineup, rather than a pure-performance one, and the FX-4130 is pitted by the company against the similarly priced Intel Core i3-2100.
The FX-4130 features four cores spread across two "Piledriver" modules, 3.80 GHz nominal clock speed with 3.90 GHz Turbo Core frequency, 2 MB L2 cache per module, 4 MB shared L3 cache, and an up to date instruction-set that includes AVX, AES-NI, SSE4.2, FMA, and XOP. Similarly priced Intel chips lack some of these instruction sets. With the FX-4130, AMD is packing a chunkier stock fan-heatsink than older FX-4000 series chips, which spins at lower speeds to keep the chip cool, and is hence less noisy. The new FX-4130 is priced at $99.99. ![]() Source: X-bit Labs |

I find the most interesting part is the improved stock cooling. Still not as good as what "we" use but I am curious.

I hate that they've set the performance graphs with a baseline of ninety-something percent and the power graphs with a baseline of 0. Highly misleading.

This is really good of AMD in the entry level market since this out performs the i3-3220 making it a cheaper and better alternative.

Really, the only thing I could remember was that the amd cooler was square. I know the stock intel cooler is round but I can't remember it either. I even have one somewhere around here. |

Arent' graphs that don't start from zero great or what? 3-9% improvemen and the graph makes it look like it's twice as fast in most cases (until you look at the side of the image where th numbers are)...

Anything below 6300 is a waste of money. The Athlon 750K goes for around $80, same uArch less the cache, FM2's are cheaper than AM3+'s, almost same performace for less money. If you want AM3+ then the 8300 is the way to go, otherwise FM2.

Yeah, the Piledriver quads are just poor. FM2s wouldn't help since they lose the L3 entirely. These might beat an i3 in multithreaded but thats it. If your going quad at that price...old AthlonIIs or Phenoms would likely be better.

You can build an AM3+ build for the same price as an FM2 build. FX4130 will be faster than the 750K so the point is mute. Also gains the ability to swap for an 83X0 chip at any point in time.

Why 4130? Why not 4310?
