AMD Readies Two More FX Series Processors
AMD launched as many as five new FX Series processor models over the course of Q1, 2012. We're hearing from DonanimHaber that two more budget models are en route for Q2, 2012, likely April. These include the quad-core FX-4130, and six-core FX-6130. The FX-4130 features a nominal clock speed of 3.80 GHz, with a tiny Turbo Core boost, that takes it to 3.90 GHz. Interestingly, while the total L2 cache of this chip is 4 MB (2 MB per module), its L3 cache is halved to 4 MB, even as other SKUs such as the FX-4100 have full 8 MB L3 cache. The FX-6130, on the other hand, has a nominal clock speed of 3.60 GHz, with 3.90 GHz Turbo Core speed. Thankfully, AMD didn't tinker with the L3 cache, and users get all 8 MB of it. Both chips have rated TDP of 125W. Pricing is not revealed.

You only get Opterons in G34/C32 anymore. No Such thing as an AM3+ Opteron

Started to read into it but got tied up in this thread :rolleyes:
Looks very interesting- will definitely keep an eye out for some performance data on these. :cool:
Just use chrome to translate.
Really interested to see what an Opteron 3280 can do performance wise at 65w!
***EDIT @eidairaman- the 4200 and 6200 series aren't AM3+, just the 3200 series ***
And these are build for 24/7 use.
and I do suspect a server niche for the 970/990 FX Lineup
and Avon the 940/939 Opterons were 24/7 365/366 use aswell
Even if they don't release a bios for my board i am almost sure it will work with a bios mod :D
I agree they do have that chance- we'll have to wait and see.
AMD can likely sell a lot of these chips for inexpensive servers if the price, performance, and power usage hits the right targets. The rest of us may be able to pick them up and turn them up to 11 :D... sorry bout' the Spinal Tap reference I couldn't resist.
we will see.
AM3+ is FX, 3200 Series Opteron. Which is PGA
AM3 is Phenom 2 (Which can be put in a AM3+ Motherboard)
Never Put an AM2/AM2+ CPU in a AM3/AM3+ Motherboard
Never Put an AM3+ CPU in a AM3 Motherboard
Never put a C32 CPU in G34 and Vice Versa
** EDIT- as eidairaman is saying, a 3200 series will fit in an AM3+ socket, AM3 and BIOS support is another matter ***
it supports all current fx cpus.
now if that opteron is b2 stepping i still have a chance.
Or maybe i am just wrong :p
Just because the chipset states AM3+ Ready/Capable doesnt mean you have the right Socket, Check the socket color first, if its black you have a AM3+ Motherboard, if its white you have a AM3 Motherboard.
IF you have a 970FX, 990X, 990FX Chipset Your board has a AM3+ Socket on it
If You have a 870, 880, 890FX Chipset- You want to check the socket to see if its black or white, if its black you have AM3+ Motherboard
Check here: www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A89GTD_PROUSB3/#CPUS
that is my board
But if one pin is disabled or something like that,no bios mod will help.
I don't know we will see.
But it will still work.
I am no expert.
the way companies did the fix was change the socket color which added a pin, all companies had to revise the boards. Its No bios mod its a physical limitation.
AM3 Socket and CPU are 941 Pins, AM3+ Socket and CPU are 942. You can use a 941 Pin CPU (AM3, Phenom 2) in a 942 Pin Socket(AM3+, FX), You cant use a 942 Pin CPU (FX, AM3+) in a 941 Pin socket (AM3, Phenom 2)
