AMD will be launching three new Bulldozer-based FX desktop processors this quarter.
According to a leaked slide, AMD will be adding three 95 Watt options to its existing lineup CPUs: the FX 4100, FX 6100, FX-8100, FX 8120, and FX 8150.
On the high-end, the FX-8140 (4.1 GHz/3.2 GHz) will be a lower power 8-core option next to the 125 Watt FX-8150 (4.2 GHz/3.6 GHz), while the 6-core FX-6120 (4.1 GHz/3.5 GHz) will be positioned in the mid-range and the quad-core FX-4150 (4.1 GHz/3.9 GHz) will land in the entry level space of the processor series, according to Donanim Haber. As the previously released models the 8-core processor will get 16 MB cache, the 6-core 16 MB cache and the quad-core 12 MB cache.
FX-series CPUs currently have a tray price ranging from $115 for the FX-4100 (3.8 GHz/3.6 GHz) to $245 for the FX-8150.
