AMD Bulldozer and Llano Fusion Pricing Information Leaked

[hsakarp_kahtap]

A new price chart posted at Donanimhaber has revealed the pricing of AMD's upcoming Bulldozer (Zambezi-FX) and Llano Fusion Processors. The processors have also been detailed with information which include Core Count, TDP, L3/L2 Cache, Memory support, Embedded Radeon Chip (AMD Llano Fusion) etc.

he Llano Fusion Processors will come in the $ 70-170 Range and would be manufactured on a 32Nm process using the Husky 10.5K Core architecture. From the details you can see that all of the Llano Fusion APU's (Accelerated Processing Units) will consist of a integrated Radeon HD chipset featuring different clock speeds (Check Chart for More Info) and different stream processors count ranging for 160, 320 and 400. All of the models are Quad Cores except A4-3350 and E3-3250 which are Dual Core variants. 65W is the rated TDP of these models while the A8-3550P and A6-3450P have 100W TDP. The Bulldozer based lineup consists of 8/6/4 Cores processors models with each featuring upto 8MB L3 Cache. Pricing range from 190$ for the lower end FX-4110 to 320$ for the FX-8130P. We already detailed the FX-4110 here and FX-8110 here. The top 320$ model of Bulldozer based Zambezi-FX is looking to compete against the Intel's top i7 2600K (310$) while the 6-Core FX-6110 (240$) will compete against the Core i5 2500K (220$).
All Processors consisting of Bulldozer and Llano Platforms support DDR3 with memory upto 1866Mhz. One can also note that the models ending with the P brand are priced higher which means they would include high clock/ Turbo Core speeds.

Those prices for a high end CPU don't seem to out of line, but perhaps they will come down a bit in the future.

AMD supports DDR3 is that duel or triple channel do you know Prakash or have i missed that somewhere ? hopefully bear the prices war will begin, as big as Intel are they need to offer more to keep their share of the market especially with system builder that are not tied to either Intel or AMD.

AMD supports dual channel DDR3 rams upto 2000Mhz AFAIK, if i am not wrong , second generation sandy bridge processor are also only support dual channel as i havn't seen any z68 motherboard with 6 ram slots,not sure about p67 chipsets.

Thank you Prakash after thinking about it the board is 16 Gb max so it's duel channel DDR 3\ 4x4 Gb more so as AMD are aimed at the Sandybridge

Neither P67 nor Z68 support Triple Channel Ram. A Guy

In your opinion, would a Socket LGA 1366 MB, which does support triple channel RAM, give me much better performance than either of these?

Unless you have need for more than 16Gigs of Ram, I personally think the new Sandybridge CPUs, and P67 (and now Z68) equal, and even surpass X58 performance, and at a much lower price point. A Guy

Thanks for your reply! I was thinking more along the lines of 8 Gigs of PC1600 RAM, so spending the extra money probably wouldn't benefit me then.

When it comes to price i agree with A Guy as X58 is expensive and manipulation is more manual, if you would like that kind of control that is, i have seen some really good benchmarks with Sandybridge and for half of what i paid out and still a killer system, most of the time you would not see any benifits unless it's for benchmarks even 8 Gbs of ram is more than enough for todays applications, the only recomendation is to have room for expansion.

your right Bear to take time and to consider what is a good price and will work for a few years to come, im hoping for minimal changes the odd mobo or add a bit here and there
