Forget comparing to i5...let me change the question for you...

hi all is the AMD Bulldozer FX-8 Eight Core chip better for gameing and videos than the Phenom II X6 1090T/1100T?

The answer is still NO.

i5 is still superior in very well threaded apps .

i5 is better. Cheaper too.

I bought an i5 after read lots of BD reviews last week

And I was hoping to go AMD next

 

[Troezar]

I got bored waiting for Bulldozer and went i5. I didn't think BD was likely to be faster than Sandybridge and fortunately I was right...

At very specific tasks that are not relevant to you the Bulldozer is better. Get an i5
