AMD FX8150 CPU Review

I fear that waiting is not rewarded.Disappointing.

I was secretly hoping AMD could pull it out and get one over intel. Shame. This is like watching the pentium 4 all over again. On paper faster, but in reality slower and much hotter running. Oh well, Sandy Bridge E for me

I didn't think it would be good, considering the 125W TDP instead of 140W and the low asking price of $250. SB-E all the way. I'm glad I didn't invest much into an AM3+ board (I got an AM3 board). Hopefully, we'll see some competition between the 8150 and the i5-2500K, price wise (may go 1155, IDK).
 
dissatisfied. Keep your Thubans folks, because this isnt worth it. Only thing that i liked was the 7-zip bench. Jeezes AMD!!!

Ordering the 2500k for my lan rig and il get the Ivy B for my main... Not going amd again lol...

"The good news is AMD has a very aggressive roadmap ahead of itself" hehe :-)
 
If they continue this way they'll be out of buisness very soon, let's hope they don't screw over the 7xxx series
 
I am disappoint

AMD is focusing most of their R&D for performance that servers require as opposed to the average home desktop

. I guess I'm going to Intel for my next build.
 
Very shocking results. If this is the best AMD can come up with, their is no hope for them. People who were eagerly waiting for Bulldozer would have been better off with the 2500k or even the 2300. It is still early days, so things may change.
 
Just imagine, AMD comes out with another CPU to replace this. It's like the controversy between the time it took the 1155 to replace the 1156 chips. Definitely hope AMD is still in the game with their 7000 series video cards though. Please please please be great.....

I dont know much about CPU's etc Iv only just built my first PC. Could it be that the developers have yet to make use of the extra core/cache.

Are these the same as the APU's and dont need Graphics cards to run games at ok settings?
 
I knew it!!

The i7 2600K murders the FX-8150 on another level.

With CPU's, AMD have always focused on affordability rather than performance, and the benchmarks prove it and they are comparing it to a i7 980x, rofl

Intel are deffo going win next gen CPU battle with SB-E hands down

Back to the drawing board AMD
 
I'm not surprised at all to be honest i'm not an Intel fanboy or anything but I just knew AMD wouldn't come out on top. It would have been nice to see them do it but you have to admit BD has failed in almost all aspects, even price/performance which is one thing I did expect them to come out on top with.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear... Not good.

Already reading rumours (via the Chris Angelini/Tom's Hardware twitter feed) of a B3 stepping being rushed out, might explain why there's a shipping delay.

Can't really see it changing much though, unless there's a huge bug in the b2 step.
