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
overclocks well, good scaling, faster than the Core i5 2500k, performs exceptionally well with modern gaming engines,
UK pricing is high, putting it head to head against Core i7 2600k, When Core i5 2500k is overclocked it is closely matched, and costs less, 990FXA motherboards are still expensive, Kitguru says: A high performance processor, but the launch is hampered wit
The AMD FX 8150 Black Edition is certainly a high performance processor, although I have to admit that for the majority of applications on test today, it failed to really get me excited. I am loathe to give the impression that I am a ‘jaded reviewer', but...
Innovative architecture design, Very overclockable, Power efficient using Cool 'n' Quiet, Improved Turbo modes
Weak single thread performance, Often outperformed by Phenom II, Only fast in ideal scenarios
It's clear now that AMD have taken a different approach to making an enthusiast CPU than ever before. AMD FX concentrates on delivering performance in highly threaded applications, games and content creation. Coupled with new and AMD-specific instruct...
Abstract: Around 8 years ago AMD were going through a great phase where their FX range of Athlon CPUs were offering consumers industry leading performance in many scenarios. For example in games such as Unreal...
Abstract: We will be running each through a selection of real world tests to establish how they compare to the latest offerings from AMD, and finding out how well they overclock using the unlocked multiplier.
Well…AMD was kind enough to send us a package and we found a NEW CPU inside!Since we got the chip might as well do a review of it…lets see how it stacks up against its direct competitor the Intel Core i5 2500KA few words on BulldozerAMD really reinvented ...
You would assume that a 8-core CPU would cost you an arm and a leg, but that’s not the case with AMD. The FX-8150, their flagship CPU, retails for just Rs.15,500, which is the same price as the Core i7-2600K. Even though this has 8 cores, sadly that do...
Abstract: In May this year, AMD officially launched its Trinity Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) that features the next generation APU architecture. It is built on a mature 32nm SOI process technology, using a second revision of the Bulldozer architecture. At its ...
Abstract: After months of BIOS firmware updates and software patches, both platforms from Intel and AMD should have reached some level of maturity by now. We run a myriad of tests with HD 7970 GHz Edition CrossfireX and G.Skill 16GB 2400MHz ram to see how everythin...
Abstract: It is often debated that using more expensive "enthusiast-grade" memory will help application and gaming performance. We use the latest AMD FX-8150 8-core processor and ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula 990FX to find out if that holds true for the Bulldozers…T...
