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
Abstract: AMD had us and a few others down to its Austin, Texas offices a couple of weeks ago and gave us quite and overclocking show with its new FX processors. We carried our cameras along in hopes to give you a front row seat at the event and hopefully whet your...

Nothing annoys me more than the inability to review a product. It doesn't happen very often, especially when we move outside the realm of the product being DOA or it not making it through all our tests. Two products have eluded me over the last twelv...
After our through the normal CPU gauntlet of tests, it's clear that at the moment the full potential of Bulldozer just can't be utilized. I think a large problem in regards to the Bulldozer architecture is we just haven't got the applications at th...

Abstract: October marked a special occasion for CPU manufacturer AMD – it released its first completely new processor design since 2003. Athlon 64, for those that remember, heralded the golden age for AMD where by and large its chips matched or beat the performa...
Abstract: Late May we published a huge round-up of 45 desktop processors , followed by a review of Intel's fourth generation Core processors . Our readers immediately, and understandably, came with the request for a similar group test of laptop processors. It's a...
