AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer finally tested

[BeepBeep2]

Disabling every other "core" (cluster, part of the module internally) gives about 25-35% IPC increase it seems.

You know what that means? I believe it means "IPC increases"
Too bad though, that makes it a quad core and slower than the 8 core in applications that can use 8 threads.

AMD should have sorted out how to make each compute unit (module as PR likes to say) work as one thread when 4 or less threads are executed. They don't, hence ty CPU.

I hope the Windows 8 scheduler fixes this, or at least AMD could come up with a driver...or something.

Still, strong quad at 5 Ghz will rock.

I think I'll buy an 8120 now. I already have the damned motherboard, so it's too late to sell off and turn to sandy.
