19 September Launch Day for FX Series Processors
AMD's first wave of FX series high performance desktop processors will hit stores on 19 September, 2011, according to industry sources. On that day, AMD will launch two 8-core models: FX-8100 and FX-8150; a 6-core model, the FX-6100; and a 4-core part: FX-4100. The much yapped about "FX-8130P" that has been a CPU-Z screenshot favourite, is not a part of AMD's finalized lineup. Earlier it was rumored that models with the "P" brand extender were unlocked parts, but now it's emerging that all parts in the FX series are unlocked. Detailed specifications are tabled below.
In the first quarter of 2012, AMD plans its second round of product launches, which consist of faster models that display existing ones from their price-points. The FX-8170 will displace the FX-8150, the FX-8120 displaces FX-8100; FX-6120 displaces FX-6100; and FX-4120 displaces FX-4100. In the meantime, AMD is working with motherboard vendors to ensure adequate propagation of socket AM3+ motherboards, and more importantly, for DDR3-1866 MHz memory to become more affordable, since FX processors yield the most optimal performance with that memory speed.

OCing is another story.
AFAIK he was also saying a November launch or something about BD release being pushed even further, which I guess turned out all to be BS.
He faked the benches and people still believe him.
But you know what? I have yet to find an actual OFFICIAL document stating the release date as September 19th.
Would be nice though, and a smart move by AMD...I'm working on AMD SKT FM1 reviews right now, and it looks like those reviews will carry me right up to that launch. Then Bulldozer comes out? AMD is goning to be getting alot of hype, left, right, and center. Sounds good to me!
I can wait for performance figures, myself. I gotta buy chips for reviews anyway, so actual performance isn't going to influence my purchasing decisions when it comes to these chips, but it WILL influence what I use in all of my rigs.
Those of us that play in the extreme circles know who he is, I guess.
He then admitted on the 14th or 15th that it was all bull, on his blog, with a list of sites that published his info as "real". Many sites posted retractions. Anyway, that's enough about him. More about me, mkay? :p
Just to wait. :ohwell:

:shadedshu Ah, you ninja editor you. mATX, OK, ok...I'll ask around.
And if used for data redundancy, obviously there's going to be a bit of performance overhead. Truth be told, I am looking at exploring RAID performance in the future in my motherboard reviews, but I do need to procure some drives to do the testing with. It not worse, I can sya, but I cannot comment on if it's better, or the same as previous AMD chipsets.
the Ministry of TruthOBR™,No SSE. So no, it won't run Crysis. :rolleyes:

It will only blend this time, since it's a bulldozer ;)
P.S they aren't fake
I don't condone that he puts up BS, but i am saying that part of his stuff is probably not made up.
