AMD Bulldozer Finally!

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.
 
Yeah, I guess. It's just I am about to order 3 or 4 systems from OCUK and build them from scratch and I do not know what to buy. One of the rigs needs to be encoding and office apps based for photo, video, music production, the other a gaming one, and the other a light use browsing machine. They are all to be built from new so choice is totally up to what I buy. They won't be upgraded for years either.

All my gaming builds for friends and clients are AMD, they are told that Intel perform better but they just don't care as long as they are getting 30-60 FPS and none of them are interested in overclocking, they say nope its fine as it is.
And most of them can afford to have Intel but they don't want to pay.
