AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer finally tested

[Hornet331]

NO, NO, AND NO! FX is not tragic, as many people want to see it . How many from us read most of reviews? How many of us thinking about benchmarks or real aplications? Do u using home every day superpi or excel? Also 3DMark06 or working in Photoshop? Its real some Sysmakr or time in compression/decompression? Its about this! Look at example one of good review (most of them are real aplications). I dont say, FX is great, but still I dont agree with FX is fail.

Well I did, and the review you linked to is nothing special... if anything it lacks some thing others do... the most sophisticated bench suites are on Toms Hardware and HT4u, toms because it test video edeting and compiler performance (which noone des beside hardware.fr) and HT4U especial for various audio encoding apps. I also like Techreport for testing Scientific apps.

And before screaming foul better take a look at this first:
