Well thats all well and good, I did say it was 30% faster than A 2500k though. So please............. if you're going to prove me wrong, at least try to read what I've said?

I'll re-quote what you said here:

What about two more, x264 encoding, hugely important, loads of people encode on it, its an awesome codec. first pass is normally 2-3 threads, its a QUICK pass that does simple things, the 2nd pass is part of the whole test, its slower, it takes longer and it does the bulk of the work. Again Bulldozer is behind in the first pass and 30% ahead with AVX enabled(both chips can use AVX). XOP wasn't included, its a significant performance boost, only Bulldozer has it, its almost made for encoding.

You said "Again Bulldozer is behind in the first pass and 30% ahead with AVX enabled". Clearly you said Bulldozer is 30% ahead....................it isn't, so i suggest you read what you said.
 
Hi there

These are all available to pre-order and AMD are ensuring OcUK shall be one of the first to recieve stock and the most allocation, so order from us with confidence as we shall be able to fulfill your orders. :)

If you can't see these in the CPU section, then press CTRL+F5 for a hard refresh.


P.S. All prices reduced as well as our pricing was set when exchange rates were 1.51, they are now 1.56, so prices dropped. :)

Perhaps I'm being thick but I've counted and re-counted. Yes, there are 15 tests but the 2500K is ahead in 8, not the other way round. :confused:

I think you are been thick :p

Performance is in-line with what we have been hearing about for years now- i.e not very good. Small companies like AMD can't really afford to follow up the Phenom I with another under-performing chip. Intel will be 'nice' enough to let them have a small share of the market but this chip won't make them any real cash to improve over the medium term.
 
Right so currently OCUK have them on pre-oorder for the following prices:

8150 - £199.99
8120 - £167.99
6100 - £149.99
4100 - £99.98

So the one to buy is apparently the 8120 since "you can make it like an 8150 in 3 seconds" which presumably means it unlocks etc? With this in mind, we are to compare this to a 2500k and a 2600k. It is priced the same as a 2500k and performs "about" the same based on above tests. Why would people buy the bulldozer then? Am I being silly?

The ETA is a complete guess, AMD have said we may get some this week, so been conservative by putting a later ETA, they may come sooner, they may come later, take the date with a pinch of salt as AMD have delayed this launch so many times we may see the dates for delivery move around a bit as well.

What I will say in the last quarter just gone, only two etailors hit AMD's targets, OcUK was one of them, as such us and that other etailor shall be prioritized on allocation and getting it first. :)

Surprised you hit any AMD targets to be honest, what with Sandybridge and all.
