Yeah hand picked benchmarks
GTX480 came out better than the 5870 and has only matured since then till the point of the 470 = 5870.
That's not going to happen with the 8150.

I think the 480 is quite a bit faster than the 5870? At least 15 - 20% I thought?
Yeah, that's about right.

so would the 1090t be a better buy than equiv priced BD
//double-facepalm
Oh dear. Its such a bad showing for AMD that its not even worth trolling their fanbois. But actually this is just plain bad news for all of us. There wont be any price cuts from Intel, and development will go at a snails pace.
I guess I'll be running my 920 for a few more years...

At this rate I think people would have been happier if AMD just 32 nanomized the Phenom and added another 2 cores at least.
Needless to say a massive disappointment. Intel must be loling so hard.
Hmm... I wonder what they are going to call their next processor?

probs inflated price,lol. as they now have need to worry about amd.
gona cost us all now, wouldnt be suprised if SB prices go up
Anyone with a brain would mourn this day.I would love to see some good competition from AMD.Some of the best bits i have owned was the 2500 barton M chip which was a stonker and the 9800pro which was ati but ati are now amd so
8800 gtx and E6300 have been my other legendary purchases.It just goes in cycles perhaps in 4 years time we will see a design that warrants the FX logo.
Oh and the naming is hilarious that a bulldozer cannot demolish a sandy bridge... I think AMD are going to need a bigger bulldozer

Quick read of the reviews and Bulldozer looks hopeless, it just doesn't have the performance and power consumption is way too high. It might have been competitive a year ago, but surely not today. Amazing how little advantage there is over the Phenom II given the extra development time and extra transistor count.
It's sad that they weren't able to deliver. I guess this is the beginning of the end of AMD as a major CPU manufacturer...
...unless the current PC architecture with powerful CPU itself is on its way out, to be replaced with lower power phones/tablets/laptops etc.
How's Bulldozer expected to work when you hook several thousand of them together in a supercomputer? For example, the third most powerful computer in the world (US DOE Jaguar) uses 224,162 AMD x86_64 Opteron x6 running at 2600 MHz.

For gaming purposes, definitely not. Regarding BD.
Let's face it, these chips are disappointing, not terrible. They just don't quite match up to the sandy bridge chips. I'd guess you'd still be reasonably happy with the performance should you buy one. It's not like it's a pentium 2 chip or something
Erm, hello? You do realise that this is an internet forum and your down to earth attitude, along with your distinct lack of 'OMG it's completely the worst thing ever to happen', is not going to get you anywhere. No siree.
