AMD 8 core beats Intel 2500K quad...
Psst... if you read carefully. BD chippery has dedicated L1. However, L2 is shared between cores of a module. Try and read a little before you start actually beating down on something.

Also, why would Intel 2500K sound better if 8150 beats it hands down and in most multithreaded scenarios will sit between 2600K/ Gulftown and SB-E? If you talk about gaming, Canard is already stating that BD can keep up with SB's (and that's not fully optimized yet).

Comparisons are inevitable, but trolling is not! So if people are coming over to AMD forum and a BD thread and talk about SB-E, they should also note the difference in costs of platforms, with SB-E coming almost at thrice the cost of BD. Also, why'd you want to pay more for something (competing Intel products) with little difference if any at all? Also, there are no SATA problems what so ever(chew also said that... but you omitted that from your post mate :P )
