Baring no more delays, the AMD FX series CPU's are coming Sept 19th!! Info below from Techpowerup.com:
________________________
AMD's first wave of FX series high performance desktop processors will hit stores on 19 September, 2011, according to industry sources. On that day, AMD will launch two 8-core models: FX-8100 and FX-8150; a 6-core model, the FX-6100; and a 4-core part: FX-4100. The much yapped about "FX-8130P" that has been a CPU-Z screenshot favourite, is not a part of AMD's finalized lineup. Earlier it was rumored that models with the "P" brand extender were unlocked parts, but now it's emerging that all parts in the FX series are unlocked. Detailed specifications are tabled below.
In the first quarter of 2012, AMD plans its second round of product launches, which consist of faster models that display existing ones from their price-points. The FX-8170 will displace the FX-8150, the FX-8120 displaces FX-8100; FX-6120 displaces FX-6100; and FX-4120 displaces FX-4100. In the meantime, AMD is working with motherboard vendors to ensure adequate propagation of socket AM3+ motherboards, and more importantly, for DDR3-1866 MHz memory to become more affordable, since FX processors yield the most optimal performance with that memory speed.

I might wait another month after the initial release for the second batch of faster FX processors.
did you read my post ? ... "In the first quarter of 2012, AMD plans its second round of product launches, which consist of faster models ..."
I have the board, I will not wait next year. anyway next year we gone have the 2011, I build now and I will retire the obsolite 8 cores of September to my networking lab . lol
My plan is to wait till Q1 of 2012, too. I'm just a middle-class working stiff who can only afford putting $400-$600 a month towards my beast. So I figure by the time 8170 hits, I'll have my four 580 GTX cards, and my water cooling setup. Thankfully I was promised a big profit-share bonus this year. Maybe the new line of Nvidia grafic cards will hit by then. Supposedly they'll do as much processing with using less power. And have more shaders. An 8-Core bulldozer with 4-way SLI makes me want to go 'RAWR' - but till then I'll just sit here and nibble on cookies.
Depending how the reviews go..I may just wait for the baddest boy.
(hey, waited this long.....naaaaaaaa)
