AMD's FX-Series CPUs landed this morning, and as you'd expect, the flagship FX-8150 got a good old grilling in the HEXUS.labs. Our assessment concluded that despite the FX-Series boasting modern design, an elegant modern architecture and attractive pricing, Intel's Sandy Bridge line-up arguably demonstrates a better all-round solution.
If the FX-Series ticks the right boxes for you though - and you can't wait to perhaps walk away with the goods in our greatest giveaway - we've prepared the chart below, to detail FX-Series launch-day pricing and availability.

Pricing and availability correct, as of 11.00am, October 12th, 2011
With the best pricing coming in at £199.99 for the FX-8150, £165.36 for the FX-8120, £139.92 for the FX-6100 and £89.05 for the FX-4100, there's seemingly one issue - availability.
At the best prices, it's claimed that availability isn't expected until the end of the month. but some of the purveyors we researched are listing ETAs between today and the end of next week.
