4.5GHz is easily attainable with 30$ HSF. And yes, compared to BD your chip is pretty good and will serve you well.
When Intel moves Ivybridge to 22nm they should make one as a hexacore. Well and truely obliterate this.
455W doesn't sound right to me. Not just because its so high, but because its hard to believe the socket could actually support such a high current... 455W at say, 1.4V = 325 Amps
Its around 450w for the whole sistem, god damn... its imposible for a CPU to use so much power, Think about it for a second, Its around 230W for CPU alone, not more
I still remember the video made by AMD to make fun of fermi's power usage and heat problems. Just write "amd fermi video" on youtube. And now Bulldozer... how strange, isn't it..
AMD has the right marketing team now... they are using all the right marketing tools to market Bulldozer. It's just that Bulldozer sucks.
Something like this? At least power usage is slightly over 700W for each system. So that's a ... draw...
Can't help myself. After Bull***t the next AMD will be not Piledriver but Pileof***t. Nicely named by AMD themselvs so we can play a little around...
Normally I don't care about power consumption but BD's is absolutely preposterous especially considering the pathetic performance it delivers for that much power draw.
Oh get a hold of yourself! You guys make it sound like it draws 1000watts: "So once more, to get you a little clarity -- the top of the range part, FX-8150, is clocked at 3.6 GHz, with a TDP of 125W. Next in line is the FX-8120, clocked at 3.1 GHz. There are two versions - 125W and 95W. This suggests that the FX-8120 was initially targeted for 95W but may ship with a 125W TDP to begin with. The final 8-core CPU is the FX-8100, clocked at 2.8 GHz." 125W. Big deal. Make actual use of that 900W PSU then!!
Is that for real? At those settings? 1080p maxed with 8xAA and it's way behind!! that's actually BAD!!!
I'm talking about overclocked power usage, the only way BD can be used at all is to OC the crap out of it. It would use a minimum of 400W and still get thoroughly beaten by a stock i7. Hell, my CPU uses 170W at most at 4GHz (calculated with the maximum voltage it could ever use for that much) and that would stomp anything BD can achieve. It would take at most 217W at the max OC I use of 198x22 (4356). Also, the stock BD in those charts is using 3.9GHz isn't it, turbo is enabled. For single and dual threaded tests it would go to 4.2GHz. So yeah... BD has that poor performance at 3.9. Another side note, the more a PSU is pushed the less efficient it is.
Why do you have to be all dramatic about wattage? Are you that cheap that when your hydro bill comes in you micro analize how much every watt cost? I mean seriously here... If you were so concerned with wasting money, you never should have blown extra on 12GB of system memory when 99.99% of the time you would never use it, or ever need it! So let us be real here shall we? Also if you were that concerned about wasting cash why on gods green earth would you have a 1200W PSU running intergrated video? You follow here? Everything about your system specs reaks of wasting money or spending money is a silly way. But god forbid you use a AMD CPU? Please...let us get real here!
nice troll like thread OP bravo! only expect the best from you too, any new racist threads on the horizon bro?
I love how you equate your own electric rate to everyone, yes electricity does matter a lot to many in the world who pay for it: Using my local electric rates for example, I'm going to use K3vst3r's numbers to show you electricity price for one year assuming everything equal: Sandy Bridge = $808 Bulldozer = $1415 Difference = $607!!! My whole system was based around saving energy while still offering great performance; so yes there are enthusiasts who care about energy costs.
