AMD Bulldozer News and Discussion

the only downside is the clock speed ...only 1.4 ghz
though it has pretty good gfx support
thanks for the link though

the proccy gets quite easily OC to 2-2.4 Ghz but still does not heat too much.If you are eyeing one you can get it for 28k locally

Can AMD survive Bulldozer's disappointing debut?

I don't think its an 8 core... CMT's like Intel's SMT > only difference.. instead of bottle necking the resources of a core... you have 2 separate integer execution units.. thats about ALLLL(except for the cache difference)!!!!!!
It can decode a max of 16 instructions vs 12 of PII and i7 2600k can also do 16 instructions at once - Nothing 8core like here...
ALU/AGU Count = 4/4 per module (2x 2/2 per core) in BD Core. 3/3 per core in Phenom II Line. 3/2 in Sandybridge.
FPU = 2x128bit/1x256 in BD. 2x128bit in PII. While SB is capable of 2x256bit AVX instructions.
FX-8150 seems like an improvement to PII X4 at the very maximum when the hardware it carries in it falls short in most cases and equals in a few to that in an i7 quad core...

Guys as of now three supercomputers are being designed using bulldozer opteron processors.. awesome... new one is by university of michigan or princeton or some one which folds a lot
would you guys recommend i go for fx8120 with a m5a97 pro? any increase compared to a 925/955

Guys, here is the review of Bulldozer based Opteron Processor:
AnandTech - Bulldozer for Servers: Testing AMD's "Interlagos" Opteron 6200 Series
Here, Bulldozer is really performing well compared to the price point. It is performing very close to Xeon 5650 and 5670 which are resonably pricer, especially 5670, almost twice as costly as Opteron 6276. Check it out.

Its a good news that atleast in server processor world the bulldozer gave what it was expected to be.
@skud,
hey look at the last comment from the anadtech,opteron is now showing good performance and there is still some more juice in that processor but needs to be utilized in proper way which anandtech have promised to show.so we will wait and watch.
