Taiwanese Motherboard manufacturers have leaked details of AMD’s
Upcoming Bulldozer CPU’s and Release Date. According to them, AMD will
start Mass Production of B2 chips in August and the processors will
officially launch in September (Q3 2011). A recent cinematic trailer has
also exposed Bulldozer Launch Date of 19th September 2011 which you can
see
here.
The AMD Bulldozer lineup consists of 32Nm SOI based chips which will
be supported by the AM3+ Socket featuring the AMD 990FX Chipset. The
first Q3 2011 lineup which will be released in September would consist
of Four processor models, The FX-4100, FX-6100, FX-8100 and FX-8150. We
already detailed these processors over
here .
The FX-8150 will be the flagship Bulldozer CPU featuring eight cores,
Clock speed of 3.6Ghz (Turbo – 4.2Ghz), 8MB L3 Cache, 1866mhz+ DDR3
Support and a Max TDP of 125W. This would be replaced with a second
lineup which AMD Plans to release in Q1 2012. Following are the 8 Core
processors to be included in the latter lienup:
The AMD
Bulldozer FX-8170 will dominate the Bulldozer lienup with its massive
3.9Ghz Stock speed with turbo upto 4.5Ghz. Coupled with 8 Cores, 8MB L3
Cache, DDR3 1866+mhz Support, AM3+ compatibility and 125W TDP.
While the
FX-8120 features a 3.1Ghz Stock speed and turbo upto 4.0Ghz, TDP remains
at 95W. Other specs are same. These aren’t the final clocks of the two 8
Core models as they’re yet to be determined hence we may see a few ups
and downs in the Mhz. Prices and details in the links below:

In the first quarter of 2012, AMD plans its second round
of product launches, which consist of faster models that display
existing ones from their price-points. The FX-8170 will displace the
FX-8150, the FX-8120 displaces FX-8100; FX-6120 displaces FX-6100; and
FX-4120 displaces FX-4100. In the meantime, AMD is working with
motherboard vendors to ensure adequate propagation of socket AM3+
motherboards, and more importantly, for DDR3-1866 MHz memory to become
more affordable, since FX processors yield the most optimal performance
with that memory speed.
