Benchmark Results: 3DMark 11
Only slightly more friendly to AMD’s new microarchitecture than PCMark 7, 3DMark 11 leverages one thread per physical core in the graphics tests and one thread per logical CPU in the physics/combined tests.
If 3DMark is recognizing two physical cores per Bulldozer module, that’d help explain the second-place Graphics suite finish. It’d do the same for the Physics test (even if Intel’s Core i7-2600K still takes first place in both).

yeah finaly, now i'll read it
nOT Bad AMd!
Been so long and i'm kinda sad.
Not many surprises but I've been waiting for a long, long time for this. I hope this is just the first step to a more competitive AMD.
At least its almost as good as Nehalem.
Dissapointing. Predicted it ages ago though. PII X6 is a better value.
As I expected - failure.
I see the guys from the BD Rumors are here. As many others are, I'm disappointed.
for the gaming community this is a FLOP.
FX-4100 looks like a good alternative to the 955BE. Same price, higher clock, and lower power profile.
Why bring back the FX brand for something like this?
What I learned: the 2.5 year old i7-920 is still a beast.
This is sad, I'm still getting it as its my only option i'm getting a 8120 Toms why did you only review a 8150 when they have all of them on other sites?
What I've learned is...AMD=FAIL!!!!!
As I said before, it won't come close to beating Intel in performance or price. Now let's hear the fanboys whine.
Buh-bye AMD, buh-bye!
Looks like solid chips, but I'll admit that the price point isn't low enough to compete in the gaming world with Intel.
I am rather curious how the FX-4100 will stack up against the current Phenom II X4 chips.
And even though the FX is a slight disappointment, I am rather impressed by the Windows 8 benchmarks. Having said that, by the time Windows 8 is ready for release I'm sure Intel will have an even better solution.
So Bulldozer is AMD's version of NetBurst?
As I said before, it won't come close to beating Intel in performance or price. Now let's hear the fanboys whine.
Everyone should cry, even the Intel fanboys, this is bad news for everyone, now Intel has absolutely no incentive to lower prices or accelerate Ivy Bridge.

Intel shouldn't lower prices, they should raise them. I'll gladly pay more to reward competent product development and nothing would please me more than AMD going down in flames for all their flops in the past 5 years. Intel doesn't need AMD to push them forward.
