Model Cores Frequency Turbo Frequency L3 cache TDP Old price New price Difference FX-6100 6 3.3 GHz 3.9 GHz 8 MB 95 Watt $145 $135 6.9% FX-6200 6 3.8 GHz 4.1 GHz 8 MB 125 Watt $165 $155 6.1% FX-8120 8 3.1 GHz 4 GHz 8 MB 125 Watt $185 $165 10.8% FX-8150 8 3.6 GHz 4.2 GHz 8 MB 125 Watt $245 $205 16.3% These are a good price for 6 or 8 core unit My biggest problem with these new AMD chips is that they are power hogs, especially when overclocked. The 8 core chips are only marginally better at crunching than the phenom x6 1100 at stock clocks.

FWIW my prediction that if something like this ever happens it will be challenged and tied up in the courts for years. After that, it won't take long for the hackers to find a way to circumvent it, block it or um, err, there's someone knocking on my door.

Ditto. The amount of power the suck down is crazy. Cheap initially, but EXPENSIVE to maintain

IBM creates world's smallest map... of the world IBM's perfectly formed 'nano-world', has now been accepted by the Guinness World Record organisation. The map measures a miniscule 22 by 11 micrometers... Nice!  |

In this short excerpt from a 1974 TV interview, sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke predicted that in 2001 regular people would have personal computers and be connected all over the world.He missed with the space Hilton, but nailed the Internet!
