AMD Bulldozer FX: Good sales, stops the production of the Phenom II

Despite the enthusiast user does not have appreciated fully the absolute performance of the new AMD FX (you can read  Review:AMD FX-8150, 8 Core 3.6 GHz ), sales of the first units arrived in the shop and the stocks OEMs have clocked good numbers, facts already running out of stocks available.

AMD has so much steel and copper alloys of a request processor architecture Bulldozer FX in addition to that of the Llano chip platform. This strong demand seems to have brought home to Sunnyvale to stop the production of the Phenom II and Athlon II.

This move, taken from the site Nordichardware, may not be well accepted by users who look at absolute performance, in particular also because we remember that the Phenom II X6 gave a hard time with the new FX especially in multi-threaded applications.

In short, a choice that can be criticized but that in a market perspective it seems quite logical as the AMD FX high-end models allow the manufacturer a much higher gain.
