AMD Bulldozer Finally!

Or it could just be the truth and this architecture isn't that great.
+1 this
Much lower performance and higher power consumption than SB? That's high end PC's and the sever market they just screwed themselves out of!
It's real.
It's a faaake!
The only benchmark there of importance to me is the Handbrake one, where the FX-8150 doesn't even beat an i7-2600K. It doesn't mention overclocking so I can only assume they're at stock (so 3.5 GHz for i7-2600K and 3.8 GHz I think for the FX-8150 due to Turbo). Since I doubt the FX has much more overclocking headroom than the i7, I really have no reason to get an FX CPU if this benchmark is true. Obviously the FX is a bit cheaper but from the looks of things right now, it isn't by much.Disappointing review of the fx 8150.

I guess my 1055t is staying until piledriver is out or is the new bios & patches give a huge performance gain.
BD 'cores' are cut down compared to the more convential cores we're used to of Sandy Bridge and Phenom X2.
The only thing that's going to save BD is if they clock to 5ghz+ stable as standard, even then a 4.6ghz 2600K will likely be much better.

Lol I was the same as you but the more and more little snippets were getting its looking like the 1100T will probably be the flagship still. Well not even a flagship more like a flagdingy or flagrowingboat.

FX8150 between i5 and i7 above.
AMD confirmed in event they will do 5 ghz on water, and 4.5 ghz on good air cooler.
OCUK may already have these but can't say due to NDA.
I reckon however 8 core AMD will perform better then 4 core i7 in software using all cores. Add also the AMD chip should be coming in cheaper then 4 core i7. Lets face it, it's performance in multi-threaded software where we need the performance.

5Ghz on water will be pretty good. However, a 2600K, can also get close to 5Ghz on water. What comes into play at these speeds will be the IPC value. P4 got around the low IPC, by clocking really high. Will the BD have to do 6Ghz+ to beat the 2600K outright?
