There are three new processors, well APUs. from Advanced Micro Devices closing in on retail stores, according to Donim Haber.

They are called FX-8140, FX-6120 and FX-4150 and will probably be launched in March, 2012 (next month).

FX-4150, as the weakest of the trio, features four cores, each working at a base frequency of 3.9 GHz and a Turbo Core rating of 4.1 GHz. The second unit, FX-6120, can reach the same Turbo Core level as above, even though its six cores function at 3.5 GHz normally.

As for the FX-8140, it is a strong, 8-core central processor (4 modules) whose base frequency is of 3.2 GHz and whose maximum Turbo Core performance is of, again, 4.1 GHz.

All three newcomers draw 95W of energy, though it may be possible for the 8-core to come in a 125W variant as well.

If anything, this shows that AMD is not about to back out of the processor segment, even if it has stopped bothering with trying to outmatch Intel on the high-end front.

Finally, the FX-4150 boasts 12 MB of cache memory, while the FX-6120 comes with 14 MB and the FX-8140 has 16 MB.
