could be a rumor, but specs are promising. I wonder how this compares clock for clock with sandybridge once some trusted tech sites get a hold of them.
I've never used WCCF for news, so I dunno how reliable they are.
WCCF
From the looks of it, The FX-8130P will be the FX-series top offering featuring a core clock of 3.8Ghz and a Turbo Core speed of 4.2Ghz, Keep in mind that this is a 8-Core CPU and will be priced for 320$ against the FX 8110′s 290$ price which is also a 8 Core variant but features lesser core frequency of 3.6Ghz and 4.0Ghz (Turbo Core). A Turbo Core speed of 4.0Ghz + is quite amazing considering the Intel’s 310$ (i7 2600K) which comes with a core clock of 3.4Ghz with turbo boost of 3.8Ghz.


The FX-8130P has a max TDP of 125W and FX-8110 has 95W max TDP. Detailed info from the chart below:

AMD FX-8130P – 8 Core, 3.8Ghz, Max T.C 4.2Ghz, 125W (320$)
AMD FX-8110 – 8 Core, 3.6Ghz, Max T.C 4.0Ghz, 95W (290$)
AMD FX-6110 – 6 Core, Unknown, Max T.C Unknown, 95W (240$)
AMD FX-4110 – 4 Core, Unknown, Max T.C Unknown, 95W (190$)
 
They'll probably be alright, until Q4 when Intel released the LGA2011 chips. That top 8130P has a TDP of 125W, much higher than any Sandy Bridge out today.
 
AMD needs to go back to the days of the K8 but that would also require Intel to just screw up horribly. I haven't even kept up with AMD since the first released the Phenom CPUs. So they could already be on a similar trail.

I'm hopeful for the return of FX though.
 
Yeah AMD did a great job with the original 64bit processors and left Intel in the dust but since around 2006-7 they have been decimated. I hope these new processors can regain the limelight but they said that about the Phenom's which didnt have any impact at all.
