AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer finally tested

[Opteron146]

Ps: forgot, if you want to verify yourself, count how many retired instructions are done on intel and AMD and compare the numbers, they land very very very close to each other on cinebench

I'd rather search for "GenuineIntel" in the exe file. For example at these positions (for the 64b binary):

006F6595, 006F65A4 & 006F65AE.

There are these commands:

cmp eax,0756E6547
cmp eax,049656E69
cmp eax,06C65746E

The hex numbers translated, from bottom to top:
"letn Ieni uneG"

Now read form right to left ... ;-)

What's the purpose of this?

I have to admit however, that there is not much performance difference on a AMD K10. Just wonder what it is doing there ...
