AMD Bulldozer News and Discussion

^^yea thats what i was telling him.oc is not a problem in BD its power consumption.as you increase you clock speed of processor the electricity meter also starts to run at 5GHz.

After that 8.4 GHz OC Pics floating around I was hoping for a 5 GHz + on Air.

Electricity is not a concern for me but Temp is.

May be the 95W 8120 part would be better.

 

[sukesh1090]

^^yup that would be better.but still if electricity is not the concern then he can go with 8150 only.

So only the clock speeds matter for u & not the performance?

 

[Cilus]

The ironical fact is that it is AMD who first pointed out that clock speed can not be a direct parameter to measure performance while launching the Athlon 64 bit processors. They are the 1st one to point out that it is the Throughput, i.e. amount of work done or number of instructions completed in unit time is directly proportional to the performance.

They have actually shown the world that Athlon 64 3000+, running at 1.8 GHz speed, outperforming the 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 Prescott processors.

And now...rather improving performance by other means like lower cache latency, single core performance, advanced pipelining, they are creating gimmik about clock speed.....What the Hell!

Output matters but I personally like High Ghz Numbers on CPU (And I Dont Like Intel )

@dashing.sujay: yeah Man. Really upset about BD

 

[coderunknown]

remember first gen Phenom was a flop even when the cheapest one was picked as Editors choice by Digit mag. 2nd gen Phenom offered good VFM & performance.

Hope we will have a AMD Piledriver Discussion Thread as early as possible.

 

[skeletor]

This thread has been derailed. Deleted some ~15 posts.

Will open it later.

[Phoronix] AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer On Ubuntu Linux Review

Time to start discussing real things.

 

[sukesh1090]

^^it is just the same results as we saw in windows.but here the case was 50:50 between 2500k and 8150 and Linux it is 80:20.but still good to see 8150 giving a very good performance in multi threaded and that too consistently.

^^Epic lol Nice one Skud

 

[Skud]

Thanks.

 

[max_snyper]

^^good one SKUD
it would have been also funny ...if the bulldozer gone in reverse direction...!

 

[Skud]

I am almost heartbroken to say the truth. I don't want to upgrade to another Intel platform, but looks like I am destined for another one.

 

[dashing.sujay]

^^Do you even need to upgrade? (for me your config is fine, except procy, but still ok)

 

[Skud]

Proccy is the bottleneck. Also planning to go CFX. Can't go with this proccy. And changing the CPU means changing the mobo and RAM too.

 

[dashing.sujay]

Why don't you wait for Ivy ?

 

[Skud]

Lets wait and see. I have time in my hand.
