AMD FX 8150 - 8120 - 6100 and 4100 performance review
AMD released the FX series Zambezi - Bulldozer based processor.
Everybody has been focusing on that most high-end AMD FX 8150 processor.
However there where three other processors released.
The processors added into the chart are the eight core AMD FX 8120, the six-core AMD FX 6100 and the four core AMD FX 4100.
So
the top of the range part, FX-8150, is clocked at 3.6 GHz, with a TDP
of 125W. Next in line is the FX-8120, clocked at 3.1 GHz.
The sole 6-core CPU will be FX-6100 at 3.3 GHz while the 4-core CPU will be FX-4100 clocked at 3.6 GHz, interestign as for less threaded applications that 4100 would be faster..
Both
feature a 95W TDP, and will compete up against the Core i5 series. All
CPUs feature 8MB L3 cache. This suggests that FX-6100 and FX-4100 are
simply Zambezi processors with 1 module or 2 modules disabled,
respectively.
