AMD FX Series

AMD finally released its much awaited CPUs, its been a long time waiting. Looking at the 8 core many of our minds were blown away, but there were the benchmarks waiting for us.
The AMD FX 8150 couldn't beat the Intel's i5-2500k. That was a big disappointment for the fans but the Specs below seem to be amazing.

Processor	Cores	Clock Speed	Max Turbo	NB Clock	L2 Cache	TDP	Price
AMD FX-8150	8	3.6GHz	4.2GHz	2.2GHz	8MB	125W	$245
AMD FX-8120	8	3.1GHz	4.0GHz	2.2GHz	8MB	95W/125W	$205
AMD FX-8100*	8	2.8GHz	3.7GHz	2GHz	8MB	95W	N/A

AMD FX-4170*	4	4.2GHz	4.3GHz	2.2GHz	4MB	125W	N/A
AMD FX-B4150*	4	3.8GHz	4GHz	2.2GHz	4MB	95W	N/A
AMD FX-4100	4	3.6GHz	3.8GHz	2GHz	4MB	95W	$115
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T	6	3.2GHz	3.6GHz	2GHz	3MB	125W	$190
AMD Phenom II X4 980	4	3.7GHz	N/A	2GHz	2MB	125W	$170

I would probably say wait for the Ivy Bridge CPUs now if you are going for your dream built. For the fans who like gaming go for the i5 2500k. The bulldozer could be used for large multitasking.
