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.

But if you ask me,i think they are planing to leave from the high end segment.
But they are not saying this directly.
It all comes down after the end of the year.

Norton, I'm reading conflicting information, most websites are saying B2 and others are saying B3. Wiki says B3 with two backsources references.

Maybe, you could be right. But I've seen little evidence that they are leaving the high end segment. Although they are focusing on low end segment more it doesn't mean they're abandoning high end completely.
