Yeah yeah yeah!!!

Nasib baik beli SB secepat mungkin Sekarang SB dah naik harga 980 for i7 2600k Yahu!!! Go dai BD... I'm very sad with u

Keke i think owikh talking to me lol, well i do accept the fact bulldozer is slower than sandy bridge nothing probably will change that...

Just i dont think in my daily life will be affect by it, since i do play game at ultra high res and no having super duper high benchmark score doesnt necessary mean better gaming experience as i found out with my quad sli setup.

The early reviews tell me 8150 is rubbish. But I never intended to get the 8150 anyway. Why bother when the 8120 is far cheaper and probably hits the same clockspeeds after OC?

Besides, you're not going to be playing games at 1024*768, nor are you going to care about the the framerate on those. We all mostly game on 1080p anyway.

i edi explained on my previous post why games r tested in low resolution for processor.

While you're right that processor performance at high resolutions may not matter much, eventually the much more powerful processor will prevail as more and more games come out. You don't just want to buy a processor enough to last for several new games before losing the required horsepower.

If the FX-8150 is indeed confirmed to be slower / way slower than the i7 2600K when every results have been released fully on its release date, then the only thing I'd say that can save it is its price. Currently it doesn't look really enticing though especially with claims that the retailers are intending to price it at over RM900, close to an Intel Core i7 2600K.

Anyway, SLI requires tweaking and constant checks to keep it in place. Quad SLI hasn't been a very popular option for most as in many cases it can actually be worst than a triple SLI set up due to scaling issues.

The price will exceed RM900.. Even in my shop i will also sell it RM950.. haha..

Well, im getting one just to play for fun see can oc how much.. going to have a few pc overclocking it tho.. PC using C5F and 990FX Fata!ity..

By the rate the tech world is progressing most ppl that visit and buy new tech never keep their gear for longer than 1 year....

It does seem like when ocing bulldozer will require huge amount of power draw. It was mentioned with his 4.8ghz that power draw is much higher. Wonder if crosshair v 8+2 phase can handle it.....

It also pretty much confirm that while it does look like a 8 core cpu the arc of it makes it function like a 4 core one hence the performance, maybe some specific recompiling is needed to take advantage of it, but then again with the big boy intel sticking to its age old proven design is any developer willing to spend the time and money to write software that will take advantage of it if that is the case??

Added on October 10, 2011, 6:20 pmSeems like some guys found the issue with the low performance, which is wut i suspect in the first place kinda.

The L1 shared cache isnt being recognised properly and causes some error that lead to a lower than expected performance, seems like a patch is on the way but will it make it in time for release? This is also most likely why running super pi will cause bulldozer to BSOD in most cases.

Wow, metalbox? lolz

Dayuum, where do you find all these info. :drools:

we can all now conclude that BD = bad day

But based on the review it seems i7 is still superior.

Actually i expect it would be i7 at least 5% higher or lower on average
as its release date have been prolonged for a long time
the price count also
for that....i would say....
AMD....try again

but still hoping...hardheaded for this for long time..
