AMD Zambezi: FX-8120 vs. FX-8150

I'm wanting to buy an 8000-series FX CPU, so it's between the FX-8120 and FX-8150.

Question: are there any advantages to the FX-8120 over it's bigger brother FX-8150, besides that it is $60 less? Like, does it consume less power, run more stable, etc?

If the FX-8150 is superior with no drawbacks over the FX-8120 (again, ignoring price), I'll get that.

Thanks. :D

    Oh... well then, is there any reason to get the FX-8150 over the FX-8120? Is it worth the extra $60 at all?

    They're all unlocked. Set the 8120's multiplier to the 8150's multiplier and go about your business. That's all it'll take.
