AMD's Bulldozer-based FX-8130P benchmarked early

I will stick to my Sandy Bridge cpu and then upgrade to Sandy Bridge E when they are released as I don't see the point in downgrading to a AMD cpu at the moment.

Good to see AMD finally trying to compete but it is going to be a long way of before they really compete considering they still can't match the performance of the current, Intel system's with there very latest cpu and Intel are getting ready to release there next lot of cpu's.

Guess AMD dropped the ball again which is sad to see.

Considering you cant read, You probably should leave the decision making to others. As you commented about the story, I will assume you based them on the story:


(henceforth mentioned as simply "BD") results a whopping 136.29 fps. To put this in perspective, Intel's fastest CPUs can only manage ~100 fps. However, it is always Pass 2 that is the real test. BD completes with 45.39 fps. The typical speed for a Core i7 2600K is ~36 fps, while Intel's 12-thread goliaths complete in the ~47 fps range. BD is clearly far superior to the 8-thread Sandy Bridge, while nearly catching up to the Gulftown champions.

Even more impressive is the 3D Mark 11. While this score depends from platform to platform, when coupled with a GTX 580, the previous 3D Mark 11 champ Core i7 2600K struggles to achieve the P6000 mark, typically. BD easily sails by with P6265. In Fritz Chess, BD overpowers Core i7 2600K yet again, with a score of 14197 kn/sec. However, it falls short of Gulftown CPUs, which are typically in the 17000-18000 range. Finaly, in Cinebench R10, BD returns a score of 24434. With this score, it slots right in between Core i7 2600K and Core i7 990X.

The results are consistent, for the most part. In multi-threaded applications, BD significantly outperforms Core i7 2600K, and almost catches up with 6-core Gulftown. In less muti-threaded applications, like 3D Mark 11 or X264 Pass 1, thanks to an incredible 1 GHz Turbo Core, BD overtakes Gulftown CPUs. In all situations, BD ended up well ahead of Core i7 2600K. In every situation, BD was massively faster than Phenom II X6 1100T - more than 50% in many cases.

If I were you, I would return that Spencer Gifts crystal ball, and the "my child can read" program....they're letting you down.
 
Looks as though AMD are bypassing the 8130P altogether. Straight to the 8150. (via Donanimhaber a.k.a. AMD PR Dept. and seemingly and unwitting dupe...along with most of the internet)

(@ red1776: So, is the revised October launch date and product specs still a product of Obrovsky's sense of humour, or is the slide a measure of damage control from AMD?)

Yeah you called that one a while ago. (8150P)

Don't know....have you heard anything on how the B2 re-spin has gone?
 
No leaks from Chinese sites would tend to support the fact that AMD are probably running a tight schedule on getting wafers back, validating and getting samples out.

No doubt Kyle Bennett will enlighten us mere mortals in a couple of days...hopefully he doesn't drop the stone (specification) tablets given to him by the Sunnyvale Creator before he gets to do the slide deck presentation.
 
I am glad to see more information about Bulldozer. I am on the verge of creating a new PC and was waiting to see if the Bulldozer would be better price/performance wise then the i5/i7s. I seen the pricing that was listed and was a little shock to find the FX core designed to compete with i5 2500k to be $40 more then what I can get the core now. That might just be due to the rapid price drop of the i5s however.

What it seems to me is that AMD cannot match Intel's cores so they add more to the die. this is the same situation with their GPUs compared with Nvidia's. In the end it isn't how powerful the individual core is, but the price/power/performance ratio. The only thing I see that is making me shy away from the Bulldozer is time. The chip just seems to have come too late if the due date is October. Intel is apparently preparing Ivy-bridge, confirmed to be 28nm 3D-Processing, 1Q/2Q(speculated) next year.

The question is,
do you want to risk your money on a new chip that is being released at the end of it's competitions life span,
would you prefer to go with a tried and tested chip with similar performance and a decreasing price,
or are you simply going to wait for the next best thing that is rumored to be right around the corner.

Come on AMD! I like the fact that you are improving your products but you guys got to get to the market faster so you can compete with Intel.
 
I ordered the ASUS Sabertooth 990FX combo with Ripjaws X 8GB memory and a free 4GB flash stick to boot at NE. Looking forwared to replacing the X2 555 with a FX-8130P. AMD has some long names for thier processors! :p
 
OBR back to his playful fakes again

Proof here http://obrovsky.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-were-punkd.html
 
There's a lot of people on here boasting of how well it can run notepad ... show me the benchmarks.
 
Please re-check the Turkish website again, as they also admitted that the results came from OBR and were faked.

Ars Technica already acknowledged they were fakes.

8:46 PM Irrelevant question: I've always wondered: how come the terms 'oct-core' and 'hex-core' never caught on, but got called six-cores and eight-cores instead? Why don't we call a quad core a 'four-core'?"


Probably because a lot of people get confused with anything above 4. Ask the general population how many legs an octopus has, you'll likely be surprised at the number of wrong answers and "I don't knows".
 
Why is everyone asking about notepad? Who cares? The real question is:
Does it run nano?
 
Will my keyboard be fully compatible with these new gen CPUs or will I have to upgrade if I want to type my weekly shopping list in less than .358 seconds in notepad?
 
If it can let me create a sentence of 2 words and print it within 2 hours i will sell my crapy I7 980x 3way pc
thankyou for opening my eyes

It's a shame that you're not nearly as clever as you seem to think you are :rolleyes:
