    Default Unlocking the AMD FX 4100 CPU to 8 Cores

    I am planning on getting the FX 4100 or the Phenom x4 965. There has been so much "bad talk" about the chip from review sites but persons who bought it from Newegg.com all gave it 5 egg ratting. One dude said that we should just ignore the reviews because to him it feels faster than his Phenom x4 965. Just saw on there also where this other guy said using his Sabertooth motherboard he was able to UNLOCK THE AMD FX 4100 TO 8 CORES. I don't know how true that is. Can anyone verify?

    looks like a 8 core inside because it have 8MB L3 cache (L2 cache 4 x 1MB, it should be 4MB L3 if it was quad core)...just thinking off my head

    There is no indication of the 4100 being unlockable, so don't buy one expecting to get a free FX8150. For a 120 dollar budget the Core i3 2100 walks all over Bullsnoozer.

    Only the most deluded AMD fanboys buy that CPU, which is why it has good reviews on Newegg. All impartial reviews point to Bulldozer being a Faildozer. If you want to write it off as "media bias" be my guest.

    AMD won't make it that easy anymore when they want that 8-core power hog to sell.

    If you are going to buy it for "unlocking" don't waste your cash either go get a Phenom II x6 or wait for the Bulldozer refresh. You could even find a better intel build.... The bulldozer isn't so bad though but I wouldn't one yet...

    Check the reviews for yourself and see
