New update!!

looks like I'll have to change my mobo afterall

looks..... kinda wierd.... something is off on the PCie layout and it could do with more Sata ports.. i thought they changed the retention brackets on the new AM3+ platform???

Which is a good thing, they don't have to change the brackets totally so that other 3rd party hsf can still be used... the BD is supposed to be a OCing beast so it'll need all the cooling it can get.... imagine having to wait till HSF manufacturers adjusts their bracket system before u can see OC benchmarks

sales post from china? very dubious... I'll wait for the benchmarks and availability in the local market

Hmm... not what I'd go for right now... AMD has always been good at price/performance ratio but this new line doesn't really stick to that concept / ideal anymore it seems although I'd welcome the FX8150 results to be better than the i5 but the price point is killing the interest really...

Hard to say for sure, they already have the roadmap for the IB anyway so I doubt Intel will delay... besides AMD's BD actually beat the i7 on the gaming front so it won't be long for them to catch up if Intel stays stagnant

Actually the only thing preventing us from praising AMD now is the pricepoint of the new CPU... if the tech is priced similarly or lower than the i5 2500K then I'd imagine a lot of ppl interested with the 8150

Hmm.. strange.. was looking at Hardware secrets here http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/AMD...U-Review/1402/1

and that shows BD winning against the i7 on gaming... well I guess I didn't read enough , sry guys
