AMD "Piledriver" refresh of Zambezi - info, speculations, test, fans

[Piledriver]

Look at the post above. Don't see it being any faster than Thuban, do you?

You are kidding right? Why don't you instead of looking at cherry picked benchmarks by someone with an agenda, consisting of only single thread benchmarks, and great sites like neoseeker , you looked at the complete reviews of the best tech sites out there?

I saw 5\6 reviews, my impression was zambezi won the large majority of the tests vs thuban, but when reading the comments on this thread i doubted myself, so i had to double check, and review the reviews I've seen. I stopped at the third, it was pointless to go on, Techreport 20-5, X-bit labs 21-6, TomsHardware 31-10, bringing the total of 72-21 benchmarks in favor of FX-8150, it's not even close. How does that translate to the FX-8150 being 40% slower? or 1100T being quite faster? or a a worse launch than Barcelona for that matter, Phenom 9600 lost the majority of the benchmarks to the X2 6400.

Dispute this. i will be quietly lmao as you try. Its 72 wins for 8150 against 21 to thuban. Good luck.

A recent review made by the best tech site out there:
http://techreport.com/articles.x/21987

8150 wins 25, 1100t wins 7, even the 8120 beats the 1100t often, How do you reconcile this as thuban being faster?

Oh bu-bu-bu-but thuban have better IPC... and? Bulldozer have better turbo, can handle 8 threads and hopefully will get a lot higher frequencies. Why do intel fanboys keep bringing itunes? First cherry picked benchmark, go figure itunes... are they trying to say bulldozer can't handle itunes? Why don't they show a single thread benchmark of windows calculator? It would be as useful.

And if you do manually what the OS should do the difference between 8150 and 1100t is even bigger:

Fact, broken phenom was clearly beaten by K8, a broken bulldozer clearly beats Phenom.

Intel will have finfets on the market next year, with 22nm, everyone else will have it with 14nm, god knows when. A consortium including everyone else but Intel, can't keep up with Intel, and people want AMD alone to compete and win against Intel...
