I'll say it this way, IF I was building a gaming machine I would use the FX8150 and not think twice about it, and buy the family's food for the month with the savings!
yes, but it should be compared to the , 2400,2500k and 2600k,
and how it compares in a more mixed scenario (with lot's of single, dual "thread" softwares, also some 4+), and power usage, overclock potential and price are far more important then comparing it to the older platform overpriced beast, also using GPU limited scenarios is far from ideal to conclude it's amazing for gaming, their result (80fps) seems as good as Phenom II X4!?
