Product Showcase - AMD FX 8150 CPU
Alright, it's time for some pretty pictures. Here you can see the AMD FX 8150 CPU. As big as any other Phenom or Athlon II processor you have seen.
AMD FX series CPUs will fit on Socket AM3+, your Socket AM3/AM3+ CPU cooler remains compatible with AM3+. We fitted the good old OCZ Vendetta cooler without any issues, though eight cores do produce more heat as our tests will show you.
The laser inscription on the FX 8150 CPU (SKU codename) is FD8150FRW8KGU.
We'll be testing the FX 8150 on a 990FX based motherboard from ASUS, the Crosshair V Formula. We have a full review on that one here. Combined, an excellent platform with heaps of features and possibilities.
One last photo, packaging is interesting by the way, the processor will be sold in a tin can. Some would say a can of whoop'ass here ;)
