It's a true number cruncher, but sadly, for a gamers point of view, it doesn't beat the Intel 2500K..... That being said, it's still fast, just not beating Intel...that's sad for AMD, they cannot seem to be able to reproduce the same momentum they gained in 2004 with their then famous Athlon 64!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/47155-amd-bulldozer-fx-8150-processor-review.html chart from Hardwarecanuck.com (FX-8150 against 2500K/2600K) The DIFF column is where it's at...the black numbers are where AMD is on top...the red numbers are the percentages of how much intel is on top I'm glad I didn't wait and got my 2500K early in April... That being said, AMD 8-core is a good CPU, but doesn't beat the Intel 4-cores 2500K...AMD priced their new CPU higher than 2500K... For aMD lovers, this new CPU is still a sexy beast in terms of number crunching, it's just too bad it doesn't crunch games better than intel... Basically, an older AMD 6-core 1100T is performing at pretty much the same level, and for $50 cheaper.... summary editorial from Techpowerup: Review Consensus: AMD FX Processor 8150 Underwhelming It's been in the works for over three years now. That's right, the first we heard of "Bulldozer" as a processor architecture under development was shortly after the launch of "Barcelona" K10 architecture. Granted, it wasn't possible to load close to 2 billion transistors on the silicon fab technology AMD had at the time, but AMD had a clear window over the last year to at least paper-launch the AMD FX. Delays and bad marketing may have cost AMD dearly in shaping up the product for the market. After drawing a consensus from about 25 reviews (links in Today's Reviews on the front page), it emerges that: AMD FX-8150 is missing its performance expectations by a fair margin. Not to mention performance gains in its own presentation, these expectations were built up by how AMD was shaping the product to be a full-fledged enthusiast product with significant performance gains over the previous generation AMD ill-marketed the FX-8150. Hype is a double-edged sword, and should not be used if you're not confident your offering will live up to at least most of the hype. AMD marketed at least the top-tier FX-8000 series eight-core processors as the second coming of Athlon64 FX. At the end of the day, graphics cards performance matters more than which MODERN CPUs you're using... So if you really wanna go with a new FX-8150 CPU from AMD, you'll still get really good performance if your graphics are up to the task.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note that if you are not an overclocker, this CPU is perfectly decent! From VR-ZONE: Power Consumption The results are shockingly bad to say the least. On overclocked full load, the power usage of the slower FX-8150 was nearly TWICE that of the faster i7-2600K. We haven't seen such monstrous power usages except in some dual socket systems or extreme overclocking (which ours isn't). We redid the tests multiple times using different motherboards and power measuring equipment but the results were the same everytime. Using a multimeter, the 12v rail on the extra 8+4pin CPU connectors also measured a whopping ~23A. With overclocked power loads like these, its no wonder AMD has to ship a water cooling solution together with the chip.

LIXX, The Intel 6-cores are way overpriced, you're right....but the 2600K has proven to be a decent contender for that 6-cores...so nobody need to fork a grant for a CPU... That AMD 8-cores form $320 is alright, but in most scenarios, it performs on-par with the AMD 6-core 1100T that sells for $190.. To make a long story short, whether you settle for a Intel Sandy bridge (2500K/2600K), or a Bulldozer, you're on top of the game for most scenarios.... If you're strapped for cash, the AMD 1090T and 1100T are viable options.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

LMAO If it only performed as well as the last gen of cpus from amd or intel. Funny that it gets beat by last gen quad cores. Amd fanboys always had to go to price vs performance or performance vs power usage but now they lost both 2600k system is faster in most daily uses and costs the same as faildozer but faildozer uses mo power too LOL this is too damn funny !!!!! Btw users are allready killing these chips trying to hit 5.0 so stay under 1.5v core unless on l2n or dice runs. I would keep my 1090 or 1100t too if I were you, in cinebench an [email protected] scored the same as a faildozer [email protected]. New chip ,same performance , and more heat and power draw= win win win for intel !!!!! that world record run was done on a chip that was binned to be released later as a 8170 or better so not really the same thing you can buy at a store right now .
