(boomed!)
Frankly speaking, it's performance is not that impressive (especially in terms of single-threaded environment).
...But I have an 'exclusive' justification regarding its single-core (= thread-wise) performance. I'm sure that no other HW site/lab has been dealing with it.
Coming soon!
Thanks for the benchmarks.
Bulldozer oc speed is ??
please post at what voltage is the cpu running default,at what voltage when oced and power usage.
thanks for the early review:)
Very decent results if true!
What's with the "P" at the end of FX-8150 by the way? I seem to recall that FX-8120 was misinterpreted as "FX-8130P" by some earlier version of CPU-Z and thus creating the misconception that there was actually a CPU named "FX-8130P" with a "P" at the end. Does anyone know? Is the FX-8150 actually named FX-8150P? I don't think I've ever seen that mentioned before. :shrug:
Probably a spelling error?
who cares about single threaded? We have 8 damned cores ;) At least it looks decent in MT apps :) So if this sticks, I am back in. OC the heck out of it, and enjoy :D
And yeah, OCed to what? 8Ghz?
ffs, double post :(
Compared to 2600k BD wins 2 out of 10 tests ( Winrar and Techarp x264 2nd pass )
Compared to 2500k BD wins 7 out of 10 tests ( wins are on throughput not single threadedaltough the Sandra tests on the 2500k look strange, you shouldn't have that difference vs. 2600k, HT doesn't matter )
Conclusion based on this sample test : 2500k < BD < 2600k overall, but in low threaded scenarios it doesn't hold a candle to both the 2500k and 2600k and losses even to the Thubans.
2nd conclusion : in Crysis, even with 2 6990 you're GPU bottleneck at 2560x1600. The I3 2100, 2500k, 2600k and OC FX flatten at around ~92 FPS. Obviously, their compute power is significantly different which can be seen in the lower resolution mode where GPUs aren't braking the system.
Horrible performance
i7 2600 looks better than FX-8150 in most multi-threaded benchmarks despite having 4 less cores and lower GHz
In lightly-threaded benchmarks i5 2500 completely destroy FX-8150. Actually, even Phenom II looks better in some of the single-threaded benchmarks
Better then what was expected lately ;)
It probably wont make Intel users change their system, but provided the facts that there might be potential in C revisions and later, I see light for AMD :)
Will be fun chip, though I'd like to have it at lower power consumption. Maybe Undervolting could help @ stock for 24/7 effiency?
Much regards, and many thanks for this early not-so-bad preview, will be in tomorrow to read more :)

So please, oh please buy yourself a single core Duron and enjoy it instead of coming here and moaning how BD sucks in single threaded apps. ;)Quote:

Well I belong to all of those except xtreme clockers, as I live in UK, no snow here and I don't have SB to be bored of it, though I do have Thuban, and I am bored with it :D
I do video editing quit a lot with Cyberlink Power Director, which is AMD friendly and uses x264 as one of the filters, which soon might get some nice FMA4 speed ups. I also like to test new games which come out to see how they run on my system, and make videos about it. And more games than not started to like more cores than more ghz.
By the way, some european retailer listed 8150 for 229 euros. So that is not that bad at all for a fun CPU.
double post. WTF is happening to website? Not the first time it is so slow I loose patience to even wait for it to load?
You guys are not running it on Bulldozer are you? :D
Not impressive, but I'll guess it's enough to compete with Intel if AMD can offer a better price.
Not many hours left until NDA is lifted!
Cheers for sharing mate ;-). Any chance telling us what OC frequency and voltage have you used for BD?
Oh my God Jesus !!
:shakes::shakes:
Yeah, keep getting stupid database error and time out.Quote:

So whoever cares about single threaded performance, shouldn't even look towards quads, same with 2600 and BD. If you need single threaded perf as I said buy some dual core or something like that and stop moaning and pretending that world is gonna end because bulldozer sucks in ST :/ Unless you think that AMD engineers one day decided to design 8/16 cores CPU for single threaded applications :D
:shakes: double post
I really don't understand how that name came to be used as a swear word. Ridiculous.Quote:

considering latest leaks before this, these results are great :DQuote:

I think i will put my i7 920 in the bench table and get a bulldozer for daily use ... it seems a very capable and fun chip :)
still doesnt beat an i3 2100 in gaming...FAIL
Well it depends what you care. I don't care games at all. On the other hand, I do A LOT of x264 encoding, so to me, it would be a better option than 2600k. Faster and cheaper.
Bulldozer might not be all that bad in multithreading @ 5 Ghz.Quote:

You were given that with 1100T a year ago...Quote:

For me, a 940BE owner, it would be a marvelous upgrade. As I'm primarily a gamer now, Intel is looking mighty attractive. As a cpu like the Core i3 2100 can beat it handily in gaming tests, AMD is in for a ride these next few years. Good gaming performance was my ONE wish with this new platform.
This hurts my brain. Hopefully we find out there is some microcode or OS patch that will magically fix things. It seems hard to believe AMD wouldn't just shrink the 1100T and add two more cores. They had to know internally what performance was like, right? They had to have time shrink the current uArch. Oh well, we will know for certain in the morning.Quote:

Unfortunately the majority of the public doesn't spend most of their computing time compressing and encrypting data into .rar and .zip nor encode video for hours on end.Quote:

I'm just gonna come right out and say it: Zambezi = Willamette. Hopefully piledriver will be like the ole' northies were otherwise AMD might not make it by year's end; not with this lineup at least.
wasn't it Crysis which was compiled using ICC with some nice trickery to ignore SSE on AMD cpus?Quote:

And again BD is not beating 2100 in what? To who has the longest e-penis to the magic number of 100fps? Which by the way you won't see the difference from 60fps. All this moaning about the games is extremely ridiculous as modern cpu can drive modern GPUs very nicely above 60fps. And when it is below 60fps it is not even CPUs fault.
As I said before:
you want single threaded super pi cpu, buy core 2 solo
you want some gaming chip only, get some dual core
you want all around chip with great multitasking, good OCing get either some quad core or some 8 thread cpus.
but see, I don't care what people do with their systems. I care what I do with it ;)Quote:

Am I the only one who thinks these benches are good?
Lets face it, for gaming any decent 3ghz+ CPU will be fine, as you're GPU limited - so saying BD is a fail in gaming is just totally pointles ... who plays games at 1024x768 at 600fps anyway?
In the benches that matter to me for daily use (X264 video encoding and WinRAR personally), this thing blows SB away in my opinion ...
I think it did fairly well also. If the price is what they say it will be, then it makes even more sense.Quote:

We will see in the mornig everything..
Have you guys seen how many people are viewing the AMD subforum :O
Interesting results ;)
the amd section is kicking intels *beep* lolQuote:

do you want to see the rest of the game like Civ V,F1 2010,StarCraft II not gpu limited places
Looks like I can skip on Bulldozer then
I use my rig mainly for gaming , and this is an disappointment , I guess I will stick with 1090T :(Quote:
