So Bulldozer starts to show its potential in WinRAR and Photoshop benches.. which is exactly what one should expect with 8 *integer* cores. Parallel integer workloads (think: SERVER) is where this thing will shine. (And probably special HPC apps that are designed for FMAC4).

That's probably why they released it as "FX", unlocked, processors for consumers. Since it's mainly fun for overclockers. Low IPC and only 4 FP cores isn't great for PI and Cinebench
