Should i go for AMD Bulldozer FX-8120 instead of core i5 2500k if get for same price tag ??
plz tell me current price of lamington of below:
core i5 2500k
Bulldozer FX-8120
Bulldozer FX-8150
thank u!
FX8120 is a good alternative for i5 2500K if you run highly multi-threaded apps like Photoshop, 3Ds Max etc and do a lots of Video editing. Also if you use Virtualization then FX8120 is a good option.
Just inquired in Vedant, FX8120 is 11K and FX8150 is 14.5K (negotiable)
As Microsoft has already released an test version optimization pack for BD CPUs which has displayed some performance increase in games as well as in synthetic benchmarks, we an assume that final verson of this hot-fix will appear soner. So with the decreased price, newer and wider range of instruction set supports, better Virtualization supports than equallly priced 2500K, better motherboards with a lot of feature set in cheaper price compared to the Intel counterparts, I don't think Bulldozer based onfigurations can be ignored any more.
So here are some of Bulldozer based configs which I think should be enlisted in the Pre-config system list:-
AMD FX8120 (3.1 GHz, 8 Core, 8 MB L2, 8 MB L3) @ 12K
MSI 990FXA-GD65 @ 9.9K (mdcomputers.in)
Gskill RipjawX 4GB X 2 1600 MHz @ 3.2K
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 SATA @ 4.2K
Sapphire HD 6950 1GB Dual Fan @ 14K
Cooler Master 690 II @ 4.7K
Seasonic SS 850W-AT 80+ Bronze @ 6.2K
BenQ G2220HD @ 7K
ASUS 24X Sata Black DVD @ 1K
Logitech G-400 @ 1.2K
Logitech Keyboard K200 @ 0.4K
Razer Goliathus Fragged Omega S @ 0.4K
APC 1.1KVA Black UPS @ 4.3K
Edifier C2 @ 3.2K
Total: 84.3K.
Guys, please share your opinions
