Here you go...
It does not show you a direct comparison between the 4100 vs the i3...
But you should really know that from the graph, its weaker than a Phenom II x4 980 black edition and sometimes even weaker than the a8-3850!

look like unless there update it during January 2012 if not my cny update have to stick with Intel than.

looks like Q9550 is not too far behind the FX-8150....and that's like, a 3 yrs old proc?

Epic failure from AMD.

I believe this is just a learning curve for AMD...

Maybe after piledriver they will become better...

Frankly, AMD seriously, have to change their strategy.
They always revise server architecture to desktop.
Their server processors are very powerful, but when comes to desktop, they will fail as desktop is more on single threaded performance.

Seems AMD been pushing the "should-be-95W" proc to 125W because of "don't-want-to-lose-badly" in the benchmarks.

I don't know if this been posted before, I came upon this stating the real culprit could be the test kit motherboard, the Crosshair V Formula.

Apparently true....have to wait for our own in-house LYN benchmarks with different boards and compare

seems lk a gd news. so BIOS update can solve the performance prob?

No way, BIOS update won't increase performance

Apparently ASUS CH5's BIOS is being blamed for the performance drop, we will see later how it goes

Asrock 990FX Extreme4 already shown us that BD can rival the 2600k in gaming, awaiting other boards

no one has done a review on 970 chipset mobo. wonder how's the performance

Guess you should be the first then

u sponsor me the chip la
im going to get a 970 mobo anyway

So the conclusion is AMD Bulldozer not worth to buy le? Hope their next gen Piledriver desktop processor will get improve like Phenom II.

Based on the reviews WITH the ASUS Crosshair V formula mobo, definitely not worth it BUT apparently when tested with OTHER mobos, results are surprisingly good for gaming

So just wait for other ppl around the world to test it with other boards
