I ordered one. I was in a position where I didnt want to rebuild but had Planned on a CPU upgrade to bulldozer.
I already have my tracking # from Newegg for a 8120. I had a $30 credit so not too bad (199.99)
Make sure you mark down the expense as charity to AMD.
What I don't get.... why Pay for a 8150 over a 8120?
From the reviews, they seem to O/C to almost the same if not the same in most cases.
Because it has a higher model number. It's the same thing as the Phenom II X6 1055T and the 1090T, except the difference in the unlocked multiplier.
Why did you buy an FX-8120, if I may ask? It'll only be ~15% better than your Phenom II X6 1035T...

That combo has a Intel motherboard, but a FX cpu ?
Umm....what ? And $560 for the motherboard ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131726
oh tyler... oh tyler.
sadly it seems already deleted by the newegg police! "lucky there! LOL!"

That's amazing, long live fanboys.

The 8120 was $229 early this morning but it was down to $219 a few hours later.
Why does it matter what he chooses to buy?
Because the 1035T belongs to my HTPC. The Sempron is a temp Chip.
the 1035T/5570 Combo can play 768p games on my 50" Plasma at Medium to High Settings. The sempron cannot.
Were you going to use the FX for a gaming rig, or...? If so, too bad. :$
Your HTPC combo seems very interesting, though. The 1035T is fairly low power, and the HD 5570 is very low power too and better than Llano in GPU performance.
EDIT: you're gonna use the 8120 to replace your 1035T for your HTPC? Doesn't seem like a very good choice. It'll have considerably higher power consumption and heat output than the 1035T.
Glad you can admit it. Sorry, but I always gotta rip on AMD/Intel "fans". It's so pointless. I'm completely neutral. I want the best gaming chip so I go Intel. Builds I do for basic tasks get AMD, or at least they use too. Probably not anymore with lower-end SB chips out.I made a mistake, Not once will you see my Gloating about Bulldozer any post made today.
But to be fair, am I really going to notice 18 seconds different unzipping a file, or the 4 FPS at 1080p gaming? Its paper stats. I can live with it. Yes I hope there are improvements made.
They figured, if someone is stupid enough to buy a new Bulldozer....they will probably be too stupid to figure out which Motherboard they need.
