If it's not Piledriver core I'm not interested.

It's not Piledriver. Check another of today's articles for some info on Vishera (Piledriver CPUs on AM3+ socket) if you want that.

I agree with what you say. I think what and how they did is just another way to optimize or mod an FX CPU - in addition to the method you lay out, which is also interesting.

If and when my Athlon II X3 435 conks, I might buy an FX just to play around with it
