That make me wonder about Ivy Bridge alot
what more can they implement to surpass AMD like SB do on Phenom

amd already announce the second generation BD as well as THIRD   

this is also good for intel customers.. competition = good prices

hi bro

i try to run crash nitro kart on PS2 emulator was my fav game.. because now don have console.. do u know optimal settings? pls pm me if u r interested in sharing.

anyway many times before i don care about prices i ask my friends what is best cpu when want to buy a new pc.. but now i don care intel. always go for amd

the intel is almost always faster.. but how much extra need to pay for it? after a few times amd pay good price for cpu, then can save for gfx and others, now have brand loyalty amd dont care about intel anymore, because THIEF

No,actually the reason i care about Ivy Bridge alot is because it uses same LGA1155
so good news indeed but this continue later as we hear from BD performances really is

Its amazing from reading really but not sure if want to interested or walk away

gonna build 3k and 2.5k build so hope BD can higher enough to sastify my wallet
lol~

da .....?

ehhh I don't have Crash Nitro kart but the default setting will mostly do fine and I running Full clamping, extra...err forgot the name on VUs for maximum compatibility, software rendering(hurt CPU more lolz) can help on display accurate graphic as well but they don't as nice as hardware of coz as for plugins GSDX, lilypad, SPU2-X are best for me

The FX-8150 did not surpass the Core i7 2600K in any of those benchmarks at all. Some of those benchmark results like SuperPi, PiFast, wPrime and IrFanView are time to complete measured in seconds (note the "(s)") thus lower is better in those type of tests.

because x264 itself is a command-line program(there was 2 front-end for x264 but its gone long time ago), its quite hard to use if one not familiar with command prompt, or dunno how to write a batch file.

Those benchmarker should use MeGUI with newest revision instead...
They added the AVX optimization 4 months ago, http://git.videolan.org/?p=x264.git;a=comm...eabb9cfa237d97a
both SB and BD support AVX so the comparison should be interesting.

I was talking about if you had overclocked BD to match the i7's power consumption, if we went by the original power consumption report. In such a case, BD's 213.9fps may naively increase to 297.97fps, which would have been much better than the i7's 217.7fps. Too bad the power consumption report was a mistake.

I shall now boycott lab501 for providing false hope, false information and insufficient data.

Thx buddy!!!

In order to break an NDA you have to sign one first...

Correct, we just fixed that, thank you for noticing, and also thank M.Beier for that!

Actually no, there is no chance, because you need reviewers to have time to test this stuff before publishing a review. Nobody makes reviews in one day...

I know!!! Trust me, we retested many times, because we found this hard to believe even if the results unveiled under our eyes. We checked everything countless of times, and still get the same results. Unfortunately, this really is how Bulldozer is performing, and that makes me as sad as any other enthusiast in this industry!

Now the saddest thing is not only the performance, but also the way in which AMD tries to manage this. I heard from a little birdie that some folks at AMD will start calling press tomorrow morning to ask them how reviews are going and try to do some damage control (this reminds me of Nvidia calling press before GTX480 launch). Actually many of the press guys I talked to are a little bit puzzled and don't really know how to approach this situation. From my point of view it is pretty clear, the truth (no matter how much it hurts) is the only way.

AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer finnaly tested
These days everybody is going back and forth regarding the new AMD architecture, and we have seen many architecture analysis, but now so many results. Well, here you go fellows, we put AMD FX-8150 head to head with 2600K in 8 benchmarks and 3 games. Enjoy!

actually gaming performance isnt that bad under real world situation, 3dmark is not a game......

loses pretty badly.....

@.@ And u judge the gaming performance wif only 2 graphs ? lolssss ...

aiyo, common...2 more days to wait only ma

why don't just wait for legit, true user review rather than reading those unconfirmed source?

i already booked all three models of BD and wait them to arrive our office.
I prefer to trust my own eyes

just accept the fact....

It will lose no doubt however those game are tested with no aa and 1050 res so i wouldnt really call it accurate.

And the site state p state is not working properly for the cpu it doesnt turbo up according to ppl translating it on overclock.net.

Accept the facts bros. SB > BD
