AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer finally tested

[gosh]

So how do you explain those occasions where the *much* faster cpu at low res has the tables turned at loses by a couple of frames at higher resolution? Nehalem was notorious for this for a long time, losing at high resolution to the 940 BE. If it's always faster, why was it losing so many at highest res?

Increasing the resolution or change the gpu to a slower cutting thos high fps where cpu don't need to work. Areas where there isn't any fight, just running on some with no enemies. Then the gpu will even out the prefetching advantage because it slows the cpu producing frames on easy parts.

The hard parts for the cpu. parts that are CPU dependent will start to show.

Games isn't linear, the work differs a lot depending whats going on

I think that BF3 will have maps where there could be 64 players. This will probably much work for the cpu
