Before Bulldozer based processors like Zambezi or Interlagos will be publicly reviewed, further leaks and fakes can be expected. After observing some interesting developments on the internet during the past weeks I could post an in-depth analysis of how rumours start or how estimations/analsyses based on rumoured infos or just faked screenshots are taken as granted by some writers/posters out there, triggering some bigger sites' authors' "newsworthy" receptors and finally creating a wave of false information news. This is what happened with those 3.8GHz base / 4.2GHz max. turbo numbers of the FX-8130P model, based on a likely faked Asus slide. It actually prompted me to create my own free interpretation of that empty space left by some erased numbers ;)

And it can still be observed, how such kind of wrong information still outpaces really new information. Unfortunately there is no filter for such kind of "news".
While this pic is of no use, available information on the net indicates 3.2GHz base clock, 3.6GHz all-core turbo and 4.2GHz max turbo for the FX-8130P. To me it also seems plausible that such a model will be available (as 8110, 6110 and 4110). It just seems less plausible to offer rumoured models 8100, 8120, 8150, 8170 while leaving out 8110, 8130, 8140, 8160. However, this is still speculation.
