So umm, yeah, keep it in here please.

Actually, the 8120 still looks reasonably interesting, especially if it can hit 5GHz on water. Looking for stable clocks, particularly Prime/OCCT/IBT.

8 Cores at 5Ghz.... sounds hot!

Any point for an overclocker to get the 8150?

Will be interesting to see, the 95W 8120 chips should be the overclockers choice in theory. Depends on whether AMD have been speed binning at all, between the 8120 and 8150. Personally, I doubt it.

I would expect the early ones to be poorly binned chips that didn't cut the 8150 grade, it depends on how good yields are though really.

If yields are bad it might be that 8150 are in short supply and 8120's overclock poorly.

Well it will be interesting to see if anyone buys one...

Send me a chip and i shall conduct official overclockings and post decent detailed results with official screenshots and stuff

Jokes about performance aside, would be nice to see some comparisons at high clocks, 5+ or even higher if there's some ballers out there.

I'm sure the AMD fanboys will

Seems to be ~4.5ghz on good air cooling on a few reviews, would be interesting to see what everyone else gets.

well the chips are only on preorder atm lol

Jokester · 23 Oct 2011 at 14:51

Right, someone must have a BD by now, anyone willing to post results?

straws, clutching

Like i said in my OP, send me a chip and i shall conduct experiments and such all with properly documented results and screenshots

I think anybody who actually bought a BD will be too ashamed to post

possibly, i'd buy the 4100 if funds were available, just to thrash the hell out of it, but meh camera upgrades

Orcvader · 23 Oct 2011 at 20:08

Maybe ask the OcUK staff to overclock the ones they can't sell?

Leeroy123 · 23 Oct 2011 at 20:14

That would be around 99 percent of there stock lol

Adsta · 24 Oct 2011 at 12:42

Have ocuk sold any BD yet ?

Most of those they did probably got sent back.

pastymuncher · 31 Oct 2011 at 10:50

Wow, amazing number of results in here!!

subbytna · 31 Oct 2011 at 11:12

Nobody has bought? Seriously...come on, someone has bound to have got it.
