AMD FX 8150 - 8120 - 6100 and 4100 performance review
Yesterday 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.
This article is nothing more then a performance overview of all four processors released yesterday. So this article is basically a big performance chart, for the architecture specifications and conclusions we urge you to read our AMD FX 8150 review. This article is a performance overview.
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.
These processors are all based on the same Bulldozer architecture yet have a different numbers of cores with accompanying cache's, let's recap the four processors that have been launched first:
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.
