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
time Alrighty, time to give a small overview of the previous pages : The AMD FX-8150 CPU out of the box, is not really what many might have expected. Why ? As it is hardly any better in older apps then the previous AMD Thuban lineup. I explicitly ment...
So, let’s say someone puts Core i5-2500K and FX-8150 in front of you. The Core i5 costs $220 bucks, and the FX runs $245. Which one do you buy? If it’s me, I’m going with the Core i5. I gave the -2500K a Tom’s Hardware Recommended Buy award back in Jan...
AMD has been buzzing along as of late with the release of Zacate and Llano. The new direction of the company has really been a breath of fresh air especially with the introduction of “Fusion” technology. The on-die GPU’s that support DX11 are simply gr...
It is nice and fast in your desktop environment with the many threads you can fire off at it, and if you love to compress, transcode or use your PC as a workstation, well it will offer heaps of performance and features for a fair price. The AMD FX 8150 ca...

You've seen the performance results and probably have a sense of where things stand, but we can summarize them with more precision using one of our world-famous price-performance scatter plots. (We've omitted a few really expensive CPUs, because they ten...

8-Core FX Series Processor DieAMD will be launching four FX series processors today, the flagship 125W FX-8150 we've shown you here, along with another a lower-clocked, 125W 8-core chip dubbed the FX-8120, a 95W 6-core processor called the FX-6100, and fi...

AMD threatens to make a dent in Intel’s performance leadership with its FX-8150 CPU, the first to use the company’s completely redesigned Bulldozer core architecture, but stumbles in a few key areas. ...

Benchmark tests should always be taken with a grain of salt. It's difficult to try and isolate the performance difference a single component in a computer system makes, especially when it's necessary to compare across different manufacturers and platf...
