    Clock per clock for GPU / CPU the AMD cpu stomps the 3960x in the engineering ensight04 test.

    In other words for that specific test, even a stock FX chip will crush an overclocked 3960x with an identical 6990 GPU.

    I honestly cant make heads or tails of that. but I do not see an oc 3960x vs a stock 8150. but I do respect everybodys right to make a living though. wink wink carry on

    i have no idea what i am looking at. looks like a excel spread sheet with a bunch of jumbo and unkown benchmarks put into it. yes SW-02 looks like a respectable benchmark?? lol

    This is part of the SpecviewPerf 11 benchmark suite, which is well known and used widely across numerous review websites.

    LOL that this thread wasn't locked long ago. Even a mentally handicapped child can understand that Bulldozer is rubbish inferior to it's predecessor, give up, go away, and don't come back.

    you guys hav to let him do his review, it's not like he's trolling other thread with his result, he open his own thread and post his result in it, he hav the right to do it it's democracy here, if you don't like what he say just tel him but there's no reason to close and lock this thread. And yes BD is a bad chip for high end with a much lower price, i think it would hav been different story.

    If you think the FX 8150 <<< 1100t then you are wrong, and prices reflect this.

    I have every right to write a review, but it doesn't seem to stop the trolls from lurking. :pc1:

    I thought the fx8150 at 4.5 was generally equal to a 6 core thuban at 4.0?

    yep. clock for clock 1100t is a good bit faster than the 8150. 6 cores > 4 cores and 4 SMT threads

    Generally :

    4.8 Ghz FX single core = 4.15 Ghz Phenom II X6 single core, this changes drastically depending on the benchmark because they are two different architectures.

    FX scales as ~6.67 , Phenom II X6 scales as ~5.9, again this changes drastically depending on the benchmark because they are two different architectures.

    Look at my passmark benchmark comparison between a 4.2 Ghz X6 and a 4.8 Ghz FX 8150, you can see how the older arch. falls behind.

    Link

    Averaged Performance

    AMD 1100t @ 4.2 Ghz - 73.2% Performance

    AMD FX 8150 @ 4.8 Ghz - 100.0% Performance


    Note this is without the FX patches, and I will be revisiting this with my new board and ram.

    It is generally accepted that an FX chip is a better gaming processor than an X6 for most new DX11 titles, because it doesnt bottleneck nearly as much with higher end GPUs.

    People that think the phenom II x6 is a better chip than the FX 8150 need to use them first hand before making judgement.

    The phenom II K10.5 core does generally have better single threaded performance, (although not in every test) but this will become more and more irrelevant as more highly threaded applications are being made.

    Generally accepted? According to who? They get exactly the same scores in gaming benchmarks, regardless of how many GPU's. If a game actually was able to use the full 6 cores a Thuban whould whoop an FX in that game.

    8150 gaming dog Mr Rep. Lagging behind a 6 core thuban in some test. The 4 and 6 core bd are even worse yet.geez

    A lot of you guys are total *******s. Geeze let the OP do his review, if you don't like the chip then gtfo out here.

    Man some of you are worse than my 3 year old cousins.

    Seriously enough. A Mod needs to clear this up asap. Lock this Thread and let Poly start a new one to get rid of this crap.
