humm if it does well enough against the SNB E in games i would buy it. I know about the difference in price but then again the entry SNB-E "Quad core" would also be a tasty choice, waiting for some reviews :(
Quad SNB-E vs Octa Bulldozer vs Quad IVB would be so awesome.
Dude... don't forget the Intel tax you'll have to pay in India. It will easily be quite a whole lot expensive as is usually the trend in the local market, what with dealers jacking up the prices. Unless you ask someone to ship it over from elsewhere the price will sting alright, or, if you know someone in Intel, then you may get 40% off MRP. Also, check if the mobo features will meet your requirements mate, as they've cut some features reportedly on the X79.Quote:

I hope so as that means I can then bin the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of some FX cpus :DQuote:

Do you still stand by that claim?
One game benchmark doesn't really sway me. 920 and 1366 is dead. 2500K is still the best processor to test against the 8150 as they're the closest in price.Quote:

The point is, it's the game benchmark that AMD chose. If they'd chosen to show a SB chip BD would have been even further ahead.Quote:

Hear this all the time and its not true at all. 2500K/Msi p67 G45 is the best bang for your buck for 320 bucks. Its value can't be matched by AmdQuote:

since the dirt 3 bench was a faster gpu and double the ram. it was just a better test.
^
^ So why not just get another 2500k system and shut up, instead of talking about how 5% here and there makes such a big difference?
Some people are clearly beyond comprehension. seriously.
At what? An A8-3850 and mobo will trounce it at gaming and video while costing a lot less that's for sure.Quote:

Prepping for FX8150, get rid all of my 2600Ks. Lol
Something to do w/ the triple channel memory maybe...Quote:

I ran the test several times and could not work it out, the 2600K is a much faster processor so I am not sure why the game did not take to that platform.
But why is the SB cpu's doing so terrible in that Dirt 3 benchmark :confused: Makes no sense to me
It doesn't. Nor does it scale well with frequency changes.Quote:

Dirt 3 isn't a particularly good indicator either since it will be massively held back by the GPU being used in this test.
Let me know when that "Fire" sale starts. :DQuote:

most of you guys aren't reading into this right. the first intel chip is probably a 2500k because that is what amd is competing against. the second one is more expensive than a 2600k yet performs the same in that benchmark, so they chose the more expensive one to make themselves look better. but the real competition is a 2600k, and the data is representative of a 2600k, and that data is all we need to know.
this is not by accident. AMD CHOSE to clock and price these chips to compete well with the intel chips. they KNOW what their competition is, and WE KNOW what their competition is. you guys are spinning in circles, but the comparison is obvious. look clearly between the lines. either AMD competes well or they die, and they usually compete well. the implication of these benchmarks is that bulldozer competes well.
Microcenter already sells the 2500K at $180, so I want to see a 2600K at $200, that will be a bargain.Quote:
