AMD FX-8150, FX Series Review - Bulldozer makes debut

holy bias batman and fanboi heaven?!

Look at the all the game minimum frame rates. Look at the mutlithreaded performance. Look at the Cinebench CPU [NOTE-->CPU] scores - not the openGL scores - were testing a CPU here folks! And the OC? Go to Legit reviews and see their 4.9 on ALC. After you rinse all the bullshit and bias out of this review and clean the crap off everything you guys shat all over it doesn't look too bad. A tad overpriced maybe, but that 4170 looks like it stomped pretty good - not sure what you all were looking at ... it's no Intel killer but it works not too bad once you look at it through unbiased eyes.

...maybe I read this wrong. The red numbers are AMD right?

AMD, "our eight cores can equal Intel's four." Well not really--not clock for clock. And it's not really eight cores, it's four 'modules.' Priced too high and uses too much power. Some reviewers must have got all two billion of those transmitter (not resisters--an error in the review here) switched on. Power consumption has dethroned netburst.

Like someone said, the real looser here is the consumer. Too bad.

Ha hahahahaaa

Intel guy's u r sick...None of u even used AMD & probably not. The truth is u guy's r really became angry for the FX's new challenge & that's why u r commenting like this.
And this site posted their so called performance measurements actually goes for Intel..It is intentionally... Guy's have a life, don't pissed of yourself

....Meanwhile, after giggling and babbling incoherently, Grandpa falls unconscious in a ditch near the edge of town...

He looks too young to be a Grandpa...



Meanwhile...idiocy seems to communicable...



Bulldozer and X58 - gonna be fun trying to get that to POST

Unfortunately yes, after reading this review depression started setting in. The review over on guru3d shows the FX-8150 benchmarked at 4.6GHz which casts it in a bit better light. The overclocked performance is more or less what I expected at stock speeds.

Appears to be a paper launch at this point, newegg had it listed yesterday but they were gone in a heartbeat.

this is EPIC FAIL for amd, there was so much hype about bulldozer. They shud stop making cpu's and only focus on gpu's.

There's really no reason to spaz over the fact that AMD couldn't beat the i7-2600k. We all know they're a bit behind Intel, but that doesn't really matter to most people. All the money is in the mainstream market, and AMD only needs to be competitive in pricing to get it's slice of that cake. Still, if you pair AMD's best new CPU and GPU, you got one hell of a gaming rig!

AMD fu<ked up due to this horrible performance in overall and Especially in gaming, so rest in peace amd, nobody wants to buy this piece of **** ,
excellent architecture = excellent performance = ( intel i5 and i7 and sandy bridge series)
bad architecture = bad performance = (AMD bulldozer )
see this link it is really very funny Comparison :

You know I was kidding right?

You would be surprised, Check out the reviews @ KitGuru, Legitimate, Hardware Heaven etc


...I mean is it just me?

Maybe not, KG says that it is selling hand over fist.

this is really an EPIC failure for amd after a long wait , rest in peace amd , nobody wants to buy this piece of ****.
nothing to say than :
excellent architecture = excellent performance = ( intel i5 and i7 and sandy bridge series)
bad architecture = bad performance = (AMD bulldozer )

Perhaps I've over reacted to the initial volley of reviews, but was expecting a bit more. Granted, when overclocked to 4.6GHz or above the numbers look a lot better. What I've seen so far ranges from 4.4GHz up to 5GHz with 4.6~7GHz being fairly typical. Will keep checking reviews to see if 4.6GHz and above is the norm in which case I'll likely reconsider. As you know, I just built a new system specifically for Bulldozer and it would be a 5 minute job to pop one in so it's still tempting.

Oh I wasn't propping them up mind you. I was just surprised to see all the favorable reviews myself. Yeah you and I are in the same boat P. i am going to hold my nose and get a 8150P nd OC the hell out of it, but only because i don't want my $300 mb purchase to sit in the corner.

Geezus SKY, we get it. Care to say something original or useful?

BTW, of all the reasons to ***** about CPU, you Picked exactly the one reason not to

WTF are you babbling about? the gaming numbers are ...
1) the same as the intels
2) The CPU is much less relevant at any decent resolution.
