Depends on the app.
8150 quicker in heavily multi-threaded apps, while this is "speculation" it's also correct, regardless of what DM and the like would have you believe.
8150 should render (lol) the 2600k a bad purchase, as you'd only really need the 2600k if you're using app's that need the extra threads (Or Epeen)
SOrry but this is you talking nonsense, not the performance, but your fantastic way of positioning yourself as right and everyone else as wrong.
Firstly you keep saying its only speculation, but you're right, secondly you've just claimed, without saying it, that I and many others have said it will spank the 2500k/2600k in single threaded performance, but we're wrong and you're right.
I've never said such a thing, I've not seen anyone else claim this, yet you're claiming we're all pulling some magical info out our asses and you're brilliant with your bang on speculation...... which by the way is bog standard info almost anyone who has paid any attention is aware of.
I really can't stand people who go around forums claiming others have made incorrect claims to make themselves look better.
for instance, "despite what Martini is saying, Bulldozer WILL be on AM3+, I'm brilliant so I have this exclusive knowledge".
Look, I've infered you said something completely stupid, then taken something everyone knows and passed it off as fancy new information I'm speculating will come true.
The real performance situation is, you're wrong, the 2600k will still be faster (by how you think performance will go) in all situations with 4-5 threads of less than the Bulldozer, so what would make the 2600k a bad buy, significantly faster than a 2500k in many situations and the way you have it is, significantly faster than Bulldozer in many situations. Few people buy cpu's to do one thing these days.
If you game, today, you can play dual threaded games, and games with 8 threads, the number of the former going down, the number of the later increasing. The 2600k would give you top performance IN EITHER SITUATION, while 2500k/bulldozer, by your theory, would NOT do this, it would only give great performance in one extreme.
The reality is, they are different architectures, VERY different and software is FAR FAR more varied than being optimised to work best in one way. IE there will be some single threaded programs that run faster on Bulldozer than a Sandybridge, and there will be some 8 threaded programs that run faster ona 2600k than a Bulldozer.
