This processor will be accompanied by the FX-4120, which we can expect to be clocked slightly higher. Both these CPUs will draw 95W.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the FX-6100, which is a six-core CPU that will be clocked at 3.3GHz, but will push itself to 3.9GHz under load using AMD&rsquo;s Boost technology. Accompanying the FX-6100 will be the FX-6120, which we expect will be clocked slightly higher. Both these parts will draw 95W.<\/p>\n<p>The flashship eight-core CPUs will start with the FX-8100, which will come clocked at 2.8GHz, and be capable of hitting 3.7GHz on Boost. The slightly more powerful FX-8120 will come at 3.1 GHz and will boost to 4GHz. Then there is the top-of-the-range FX-8150 which will be clocked at 3.6GHz, and be capable of hitting 4.2GHz on boost. CPU&rsquo;s in the eight-core range will also each draw 95W.<\/p>\n<p>None of this information is technically official, and AMD has remained tight lipped. However, Fudzilla has proved a remarkably reliable source when it comes to sniffing out details of upcoming hardware in the past.<\/p>\n<p>We still have no idea what sort of price points AMD will sell the new processors at, and it&rsquo;s hard to be sure when exactly they will become available, although various sources are anticipating an August-September time-frame.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/15812-AMD-s-Bulldozer-CPU-range-details-emerge?p=478746#post478746\" target=\"_self\">Discuss AMD&#8217;s new CPU range<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clock speeds, core counts and power draw details surface<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hardware"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13036\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
