The Bulldozer had loss its benchmark on i7 and Phenom II x6, yet they still made it hot like hell. Check over this.

This is a review from Tom's hardware.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fx-815...990fx,3043.html

It is comparable to the previous phenom II x4 980 in gaming. The Phenom II costs $170 and is based on a chip 3 years old. The FX-8150 costs $245.

In productivity it is usually on par with the i5-2500k, a 1-year old chip which costs $220.

Overall, it is a huge disappointment. Oh, peak wattage for the highest line of Bulldozer: 252W. [ What in hell? ]
