The AMD FX-4100 is a Desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in 2011. It is part of the FX lineup, using the Bulldozer architecture with Socket AM3+. The core-count is effectively doubled, to 4 threads. FX-4100 has 8MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.6 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.8 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the FX-4100 on a 32 nm production process. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on FX-4100, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can dial in any overclocking frequency up to 4.1GHz. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. It is worth noting that this processor does not have integrated graphics. This processor can run on motherboards with the following chipsets: 760G, 770, 870, 880G, 890FX, 890GX, 970, 990FX, 990X, A78, NVIDIA GeForce 7025, NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a.
