Single core performance
Consumed More Power Than 45nm Phenom II
Intel Still Offers Better Overall Performance and Power
Questionable Single Thread Performance
Not always faster than competing Intel or AMD CPUs
Sluggish with multi-threaded workloads
High power usage under load
No integrated graphics
May require new motherboard
Windows 8 required for some features
Requires a new Socket AM3 motherboard
Single core performance has remained static
Full performance requires Windows 8 system and applications that use its new instructions
Overall similar performance to Core i5 2500K
But at a higher price
General performance below expectations
And rival products
High power consumption under load
Compared to Intel's chips
Not the best choice for hardcore gamers
Slower than cheaper chips in tests with single-threaded apps
You may wonder why it took us so long to review the FX-8150? We received the processor last month and had to cover the Haswell Core i7-4770K first along with Computex 2013 which had put alot of load on me. But here we finally have the Bulldozer review and...
Abstract: Ok. You, the readers, were right. We screwed up. I'll be the first to admit that when we picked the components for our current cooler testing machine a few years back, we blew it.It's not that the gear is bad, per se, it just isn't best-suited for testing...
Abstract: Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside! 86 C...
Abstract: To no real surprise at all, bdver1 led to the best results for this AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer processor, the only interesting facts are the improvements by which the resulting binaries were faster for the different workloads compared to the other compil...
Abstract: Under some workloads Ubuntu 12.10 is faster on the AMD FX-8150 system while in other cases it's noticeably slower than Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. Stay tuned for some more articles coming out shortly that look at the performance changes in finer detail ...

Abstract: As you may know, a while back, we came to some difficult realizations about the validity of our methods for testing PC gaming performance. In my article Inside the second: A new look at game benchmarking, we explained why the widely used frames-per-second...
The new Core i7-3770K is a no-brainer if you were considering buying the Core i7-2600K; it costs the same and is faster.It is, however, very important to understand that this processor is targeted to users who will really benefit from additional proces...
Abstract: While Himeno between K8 and bdver1 yields a net performance improvement, when targeting k8-sse3/btver1/barcelona the performance was actually even better than when bdver1 was used. Lastly, with C-Ray there is a small performance improvement in moving...

AMD Bulldozer is with us for months now, more than enough time has passed for the product to set into its market slot. Bulldozer and AMD did not live up to expectations, nor did they deliver a competitive desktop product which they very much need right...
Abstract: This time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important pro...
