AMD's FX-4300 and FX-6300 series of central processing units have been cropping up in the news periodically, but they haven't actually been sent out yet.

Two of them have been put up for pre-order in the United States though: FX-4350 and FX-6350.

The former is a quad-core chip with 8 MB L3 cache memory, a TDP (thermal design power) of 125 Watts, and a clock speed of 4.2 GHz, 4.3 GHz when only 2 cores are loaded.

The other CPU, FX-6350, is a six-core model with 2.9 GHz base speed and 4.2 GHz Turbo Core speed.

Like its sibling, it supposedly has 8 MB of L3 cache memory and 125W TDP.

The AMD FX-4350 has a price of $142.68 / 109.67 Euro, $9 more than the FX-4300 in the same store (6.92 Euro).

The AMD FX-6350 can be pre-ordered for $154.57 / 118 Euro, $10 more than the FX-6300 (7.69 Euro).
