quick question. why do you 2 have '18' after your posts?

 

[asantesoul]

[siege_templar]

yeah bulldozer is a let down lol. Hmmm $260 for best 8 core cpu by amd or $190 for a 4 core cpu by intel that out performs it hmmmm hard question

Thanks Chris. Enjoyed the review. And THANK YOU for pointing out marketing trickery BS. I always hate that crap.

so everyone has '18' in there posts... why? is this some strange html error im having or am i missing some new thing on the internert?

the benches are very disappointing, i was hoping for a real contender against intel but amd is sub par yet again... its like after core2's came out amd just stopped trying. they dont even hold the price point anymore.

I am disappoint AMD. After recommending people to get AM3+ then I learn that it's just a sidegrade to the phenom ii x4. WTF!

OMG we are all infected with the Skynet Eighteen virus.

Very welcome jimmy. Just trying to call them like I see them. Was a little surprised myself about that misguided comparison. Unfortunately, the folks most likely to buy into it probably aren't the enthusiasts reading these stories.

Sorry, don't see any 18s over here!

 

[Herr_Koos]

I see 14's....

While i agree about this being a let down, the FX is not 260 and the 2500K is not 190. Most of the other sites are saying the 8150 is on par or better then the 2500K in new apps.(it IS brand new architecture) It should of kicked the 2600K ass but again its IS a let down. Now the 8120 is NOT a let down. Its priced right and can have just as much uph as the 8150 with a small overclock...which BTW the 8150 dominates in according to "other" sites. One got to 5.0 in 10 minutes.

Disagree. Not a bad CPU chip, but not an Intel killer either.

I suspect that CPU architecture is reaching a point of diminishing returns, at least until software catches up.

 

[bumnut53]

The same reason you have 14 after yours! It was hapenning all day yesterday, weird

 

[mershaq]

i havent heard anything about the other cpu's like the 4 or 6 cores, can anyone enlighten me on these processors

 

[proxicon]

BUlldozer is FAILDOZER!@

 

[chriscornell]

It's been a long time since I had an AMD-system (Winchester cpu) and by the looks of it, it's gonna be even longer. That's it - I'm asking Santa for an i5 2500k and 16Gbs of memory.

 

[Spyryt]

Really disappointed with the 8150 after reading the review on here. I'm wanting to build a new PC ready for BF3 at the end of the month and have been waiting patiently for the release of Bulldozer but will be going with an i5 2500k it seems.

Thanks for the great review, has helped me decide immediately what to go for.

intel doesnt seem to be having diminishing returns.
Now what AMD needs to do is halt bulldozer production and throw them all in the bin. Then make a die shrink of the phenom II cores, increase clock speed and sell them off cheap to keep any kind of market share, while designing a new CPU that is actually better than their previous one. I am absolutely shocked at the abysmal performance and high power consumption of that 8 core disaster. This is one sad day for AMD. its exactly like when intel released the P4. but intel still managed to sell them somehow, i dont see the same happening for amd. F#%KING EIGHTEEN GO AWAY!

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I may as well get a 955 ffs lol

[iam2thecrowe]

^+1 , im hoping they drop the price of the phenom x4 range so i can snap one up really cheap. but then what would i upgrade to later? bulldozer? lol, what a joke. Should probably just get the extra cash together and go for the intel setup and IB ready motherboard.
