"In the more upscale, regarding FX processors based on the Bulldozer architecture we are also disappointed : while they are still generally more performant than their predecessors and allow AMD to approach much of the last Core i5 and i7 but their performance remains below expectations. Besides, as we announced already in our previous issue, if they can sometimes compete with Sandy Bridge in the applications of rough calculations, the results are in video games very far behind. Only overclockers (and fanboys) will find them a great interest given their predisposition in this area."
"The AMD FX-8120 is probably the model of the new series "Bulldozer" that offers the best price/performance ratio. It is able to compete with the i5-2500K in most computing applications even if lags behind in video games. But, don't forget substantial overclocking capabilities are available with no additional cost. Faced with the old Phenom X4 980, this is a very good alternative."
"Offered at a price slightly lower than the Core i7-2600K Intel, the FX-8150 is currently the most powerful model from the new architecture "Bulldozer" for AMD. Unfortunately, he fails, at best, it cans match its direct competitor in some media processing applications but is always behind in games."
