AMD FX-Series Lineup Revealed in CPU Support List
AMD FX-Series' final specifications revealed on Gigabyte's AM3+ - AMD 990FX - GA-990FXA-UD7 (rev. 1.0) CPU support list.
Now available for full perusal is a list of supported Bulldozer processors from a Gigabyte CPU compatibility list. We see the final stepping will be B2 for the upcoming Bulldozer release, which is rumored to be in the September/October release window. The FX-8150 is clocked at 3.6 GHz, 8-cores, TDP of 125W and system bus at 5200 MT/s (up from 4000 MT/s of previous generations). You'll notice the FX-8120 listed both TDP of 125W and 95W. You should expect on initial launch, the 125W TDP models will be the first to the market, later followed by the 95W TDP chips.
The FX-6100 is clocked at 3.3 GHz, 6-cores, TDP of 95W, along with system bus at 5200 MT/s. The FX-4100 is clocked at 3.6 GHz, 4-cores, TDP of 95W, along with bus at 5200 MT/s. One might begin to piece together that the FX-6100 and FX-4100 are likely to be Zambezi with 1 module and 2 modules disabled, respectively, rather than native 3-module / 2-module dies. (Do I see an unlocked FX-4100 to an FX-8150 in my future?)
All CPUs feature 8MB L3 cache and are based on 32nm process. To get a better understanding of the artiture of the Bulldozer, check out the latest information here: AMD's Bulldozer: More Design Details Surface

2 x FX-8120 both at 3100ghz but with different TDP ??
Strange
2 x FX-8120 both at 3100ghz but with different TDP ??Strange
yes just like theres 2 phenom 955s with a 125W tdp and a 95W tdp.
same for the phenom 945 and many other chips.
Why the clock speed differences for the x100 models? I'd be happier if the 4100 had been called the 4150 so you could tell it had the same clock speed as the 8150, and call the 6100 something like 6130 to show it is between the 8120 and 8150. Or am I expecting too much (i.e. being able to compare processors by their model number only)?
These look smexy. Time to upgrade from my skt 939 FX55 san diego if this new FX range is as good as my current chip both in performance and longevity.
same for the phenom 945 and many other chips.
True but they are different steppings. Both of those are marked as B2 stepping.
Amusingly, Wikipedia lists the 8120 as the C0 stepping; the 8130 is the B2 but doesn't have a listed clock speed.
AMD, please come up with better model numbers, you suck at it, thankyou.
With the server applications the System Bus will benefit from 6400 Mt/s Would it be Tooo Much to utilize the same technology on these?? ORRRR that will be a benefit from the Enhanced Bull Dozier. It almost seems like AMD handicaps themselves. I cheer for them but when they get on the field they tie their shoe laces together during the huddle.
