Well, maybe their 4-cores CPU's will be better than the 8-core ones,

PROCESSOR	CORES	CLOCK SPEED	MAX TURBO	NB CLOCK	L2 CACHE	TDP
FX-8150	8	3.6 GHz	4.2 GHz	2.2 GHz	8 MB	125 W
FX-4170	4	4.2 GHz	4.3 GHz	2.2 GHz	4 MB	125 W

Has anyone read a review of them?

mixed bag really

Personally, I was hoping for a higher base clock speed out of the 8150 more towards 4.5GHz, especially considering the 1100T's base speed is 3.3GHz. Not really a clear difference.

Even though I have a 1035T 2.6GHz, there isn't enough of a performance increase between the 1035 and the 8150.
