fx-8150 high clocks just to match a stock 2600k... and the IPC is worst as expected ( than thuban )

seems decent for multi-threaded apps I suppose...

Well, multithreaded integer performance was just fine, and it's got that nifty configurable TDP thing. AMD's decision was to design a good processor for servers, and indeed they have something with good multithreaded integer performance per die area. Ultimately it's just not a compelling product for gaming or most home user tasks, which is what was expected.

Too bad 22nm tri-gate transistors are going to blow everything up in about half a year. For servers, it's Intel's process advantage that will soon be too overwhelming.

Anyway, I think you guys are jumping the gun a bit quickly. It has some intelligent power saving features and performs better than i7 2600k in most multithreaded applications. It's like when AMD released 64 bit technology and people said it was unnecessary. Maybe if 8 core processors becomes the norm then people will try to develop games and programs to use more than two cores. And because it will be regarded as a failure, the pricing will probably go down later on.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

Was really hoping that AMD was going to blow Intel out of the water with this new release... Too bad their best chip costs more than a 2500k and doesn't perform as well.

Haswell will have AVX2 / 256bit integers...

That's so much in power consumption for that processor... wow... and in most cases, they compare it to a stock 2600K...

anand said he was gonna not sleep until he's done... so it might up in a few hours...

herp it's why intel made board revisions and new socket for their sandy bridge it allowed them to hone in power a lot better people may complain who want to upgrade and have to buy a new mobo but hell if you've had a mobo for more then 2 years you'd probably want a new mobo unless it was unnecessarily high end.

bit-tech system power draw at wall was 110W with the FX-8150 at idle, with an Enermax Revo85+ 1050W. Did they really just pull like 425W from the CPU VRMs lol wtf. Crosshair V getting put to good use...

Now try that on a motherboard with a reasonable price tag.

2 billion transistors/315mm² vs 995million transistors/216mm²...

sc2 isn't going to use more than 2 cores though so IPC per core helps significantly for intel in that one

i wonder what sort of fire was started when they used 1 module at 8.5Ghz or w.e it was

But it's a really a shot to the balls at enthusiasts being that hot and not even hitting higher clocks then the 2500k which was able to hit 5Ghz and does more per the clock.

Huh look at that. It actually performs pretty damn well on the id tech5 engine.

Xbit article is out: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/amd-fx-8150.html

I found this pretty funny, from HardwareCanuck's article:
At these settings, the system is is idling at around 195W at idle, but when running the aforementioned Prime95 stress test, it pulls an immense 550W from the socket. If we also add a fully loaded GeForce GTX 460 1GB, that number spikes up to almost 800W.


Has anyone realized that this is 32nm and you need 1.4v for 4.6GHz? That's pretty pathetic...

Hey, I'm looking to buy a new pc would someone have a look at this build i'm sure there's lots of things to be improved as I'm clueless when it comes to computers, =] my budget is only £300-400 would love to stay at low 300 if possible

Stapled two cores on it then stepped on it a few times.

The good news is that all the people that have bought massive overkill psu's for their current builds won't have to buy a new one when going for a new amd build.

so basically, they're saying that bulldozer looks to fail miserably in gaming and single thread apps compared to sb
