In figure one can see the overview of the various Bulldozer CPUs available from October 12, 2011. As you can see there are 4 models in the 8xxx FX series at 125W and 95W of 8-core (the FX 8150, FX 8120 and FX 8100), a 6-core model of 6xxx FX series (FX 6100) and three 4-core models 4xxx FX series (models FX 4170, FX B4150 and FX 4100), with the frequency record for the desktop CPU as the CPU FX 4170 has 4.2GHz, which will be introduced later.

In this figure we can see the list of available CPUs to launch from October 12, 2011, together with suggested retail prices. As you can see we have two CPU 8xxx FX series of 125W (FX 8150 and FX 8120, whose 95W version will be introduced later) at a suggested retail price of € 239/249 and 199/209 €, respectively, and two models of 4 and 6-core of 95W (FX 4100 and FX 6100), with a suggested retail price of € 109/119 and 149/159 € respectively. Unfortunately the prices in Euros are not as interesting as those in dollars, with the top of the line CPU from AMD that is positioned at a price slightly less than the Intel Core i7-2600K, which at present amounts to around € 260/270. From the point of view of functionality the FX-8120 CPU, is still the same of the FX-8150, except for a lower clock frequency. You need to evaluate the overclocking potential of these CPUs to understand the true potential of the Bulldozer CPU.

In the coming days we will publish a detailed analysis of the performance, which will allow you to choose the CPU that best suits your needs.
