AMD has revealed to our colleagues from Bright Side of News prices next FX CPU architecture team as expected. The AMD FX-8130P will be sold at $ 320 boxed. AMD has revealed to our colleagues from Bright Side of News prices next FX CPU architecture team as expected. The AMD FX-8130P will be sold at $ 320 boxed.

The processor would have a frequency of 3.8 GHz and a 2.0 Turbo to 4.2 GHz and a TDP ranging between 105 W and 130 W. This helps get an idea of pricing policy to be adopted by the manufacturer. The FX-8130P is supposed to represent the highest end of the Zambezi, which will be available at launch of Architecture this coming September.

Tariff level, there will be face to face with the Core i7-2600K clocked at 3.4 GHz and have a Turbo Boost of 3.8 GHz. The AMD model will also be two times more cores than the Intel processor. Intel should nevertheless lower prices after the release of Zambezi in response to its competitor.

We contacted AMD and are awaiting a response from them. If the news was never confirmed, it would be a aggressive pricing from the manufacturer that probably would force Intel to revise its catalog. For the record, Dozers are supposed to allow AMD to catch up with Intel on field performance.

The Zambezi will be compatible with Socket AM3 + and AM3, but they bring a better power management and official support for DDR3-1866. The architecture will be engraved in 32nm and will mark the introduction of transistors using a metal gate and high-K insulating layer on AMD processors for servers and desktops.

A roadmap of processors available at launch would have appeared on the web last Wednesday (see "The Zambezi roadmap AMD FX-fugitive").
