Man you made my day. Thanks. Benchmarks are also there although I didn't understood much of that. Still waiting for comparative benchmarks with SB. :p

Bulldozer coming out today. I'm sort of unenthusiastic by now. Expecting things to be fixed in Piledriver.

I've got no idea why AMD released this. IPC has decreased compared to Thuban wtf? They should have just added two more cores and released a 32nm X8 Thuban. It'd have performed better. Or they could have canceled this altogether and moved onto Piledriver as it appears ready.

Or may be, there is some bug and they are thinking it will be rectified with another stepping. My guess is, they only released it for revenue. What's with higher power consumption than Thuban anyways? :confused:

Barcelona #2 or nVidia GeForce 'FX' 5000.

AMD FX-8150 Processor Review - Bulldozer Arrives - AMD Brings Bulldozer To The Yard - Legit Reviews

seems interesting. behind 990x still.
8150 and 2600k seem exchanging positions.

power consumption is a big disappointment. not expected from amd.

GlobalFoundries need to sort out their 32nm process too.

tbf, this is AMD's Pentium 4. Only thing is, it won't sell. Even Pentium 4's IPC had decreased compared to Pentium 3.

Feeling sorry for those who specially invested in an AM3+ board. well...bright side? Phenom II 1090T doesn't really look THAT bad. :p

Ya, Bulldozer is not able to live againt the expectation, i.e. beating the 2600K. But I don't think it is a faliure at all. Just finished the legitreview and Toms Hardware review of the FX processor and find out that it is placed somewhere between 2600K and 2500K..in fact it is more closer to 2600K in terms of performance. Now after launch we can expect a price drop from AMD's side, making it a viable solution in highly multi-threaded environment and for multimedia applications.
And don't compare it with Sandybridge-E series processor, Zambezi was never meant to compete against Sandybridge-E. I think AMD has already provided their roadmap for 2012 and Trinity might be the true competitor for Sandybridge-E.

IMO...its not epic fail....actually it was
1.too late.
2.too overhyped.
3.people misunderstood it as the "masterchief" from HALO but it turned out to be maxpayne...does the job but generally lagging here and there...!

PPL loyal to amd,would surely buy one having 95% functionally of 2600k for lil lesser price.
