You can still buy a 8120 and be satisfied with your purchase. I doubt you sit around and run cinebench or encode all the time anyway. A 8120 overclocked to 4.2Ghz is a fast little guy. Too bad power consumption is so high on those though.

AMD will be rolling out a revision later in the year. People are expecting a 20% improvement, so it will be more competitive. Supposedly Ivy Bridge is only bringing 5-10% improvement in performance, but a major decrease in power consumption.
