Compare 1090T and FX-8150

[eRazorzEDGE]

I was curious of how my old processor would compete against the new one, so I tested them both and well, here are the results.

Here's a lil info on the system. The system is mounted on a custom built aluminum test bench. The CPU cooling is done by a single Feser 120.3 radiator with three Scythe 120mm x 25mm fans running at 1500rpm. The pump is a Laing D5 Vario at max speed. The water block is a Swiftech GTZ with custom 0.25" aluminum back plate and tension springs.

I wanted to see what the difference in performance would be between these two chips as I would run them 24/7. So I OC'ed them both to there maximum semi-stable frequencies and off we went. Basically if they passed Cinebench and 3Dmark CPU tests, I considered it stable. The 1090T is at 4.3GHz Core @ 1.55v, 2.6GHz CPU-NB @ 1.25v and 2.6GHz HT Link @ 1.20v. The FX-8150 is at 4.8GHz Core @ 1.45v, 2.6GHz CPU-NB @ 1.25v and 2.6GHz HT Link @ 1.20v. Both CPU's were run with the same RAM, 2x4GB DDR3-1600MHz running at 1600MHz. The video cards are 3x XFX 6970's running at stock frequencies and voltages (880MHz core, 1375MHz RAM). I forgot to add a GPU-Z shot in the screenies, so forgive me. Also, I used a different CPU-Z from the 1090T to the FX-8150 because the 1.58 version didn't show the correct information of the FX, like the 1.58.7 version does.

The test system:






SuperPi - 1090T (first), FX-8150 (second)



wPrime - 1090T (first), FX-8150 (second)



Cinebench - 1090T (first), FX-8150 (second)



Unigine Heaven (1920x1200, DX11, Shaders = High, Tess. = Normal, Anisotropy = 16x, AA = Off) - 1090T (first), FX-8150 (second)



3Dmark 06 - 1090T (first), FX-8150 (second)



3Dmark 11 - 1090T (first), FX-8150 (second)

BELOW ARE MORE GAME BENCHES AS OF 10-23-11

I did a lil more testing with the FX-8150 at 4.8GHz CPU, 2.6GHz NB and HT Link, and 1600MHz RAM. After that I put the 1090T back in and for some stupid reason I couldn't boot at 2.6GHz on the NB and HT Link, so I upped the frequencies to 4.35GHz CPU (was 4.3GHz), 3.0GHz NB and HT Link (was 2.6GHz), and 1600MHz RAM. I used the same entire setup as before, with 3x 6970's in Tri-Fire running at stock frequencies of 880MHz core and 1375MHz memory, ASUS Crosshair V mobo running the beta 9911 BIOS, water cooled CPU with a single 360 RAD and fans at 1500RPM.

The test games I chose are ones that I play or have played. Two of which have in game benchmarks, the other two I had to run a FRAPS 60 second capture for min-max-avg frames per second. The games are Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Crysis, Dirt 3, and Left 4 Dead 2. I did two runs of each game, one at 1920x1200 and the other at 5760x1200. All games were run at their maximum in game graphic settings with either 8xAA, 4xAA, or no AA (crysis only).

I had originally intended to do some encoding with handbrake, but for the life of me I couldn't get the FX-8150 to stay stable for a whole minute under load, so only game benches here.

Battlefield: Bad company 2 - All settings on High, 4xAA, 16xAF, HBAO: On - Captured during a multi-player match on the map Laguna Presa.
