In short, Bulldozer-powered AMD FX series are coming for real. Together with the CPUs, 9 series chipset family and Radeon HD 6000 graphics will form new AMD enthusiastic platform named Scorpion. AMD FX series will be quite a bunch, with 4, 6 and even 8-core CPUs to choose from. There are several things that are still not announced, such as pricing and launch date. While launch date is still not known, with some degree of certainty we can say that some other Internet websites which published date as September are wrong, and that it won’t be this month.
In line with AMD policy, we expect that pricing will be aggressive. Still, we believe that the AMD hold few more aces in a sleeve, which will be published as a launch date close in. Behind closed doors, we were able to play with one AMD FX based configuration, but beside very personal feeling that everything worked as it should be, we will still wait for test sample to give you performance figures, clocks and other goodies.
