They all have the same specs, 2 or 4x 512 l2 cache, and 2048 of l3 cache, is there something im missing, why is the fx a fx, and why is there now a am2 fx, when the fx was supposed to be socket 1207 2p systems.

AFAIK, FX cpus have unlocked multipliers,other than that, I don't know much, so I won't say something that might not be right/facts...don't have much time to study 'em

FX is like your ultra high end chips
X4 is your quad (4) core chips
X2 is dual (2) core chips

afaik, they are all pipe dreams of yet... wish reviewers would get samples so we could rate progress...

Besides price, binning, multiplier status and availability? Not much.

FX = 4-Some with 4 Olympic Team members(Women Usually, Unless you prefer the other sex)

X4 = 4-Some with 4 High School Cheerleaders

X2 = One on One Lesbian Action :wink:

Socket F(QuadFX) = Having the Whole Womens Summer Olympic Team :lol:

FX = can go up to 2 sockets.. 8 cores (quadfather)
unlocked multiplier up and down. socket F+

X4 = socket AM2+, 4 cores, Agena, 3 MB shared. Monolitc design (Barcelona based)

X2 = socket AM2+, 2 cores, Barcelona but with 2 cores only.

FX has two HT links
Agena has one HT link
Kuma has one HT link
Budapest is Agena
Barcelona is Agena with up to 2 more HT links

FX is on 1207+
Agena is on AM2+
Kuma is on AM2+
Barcelona is on 1207+

Well, there's barely any difference, cores aside. FX has an unlocked multiplier and is perhaps higher binned.
