Bulldozers on parade...

[nothingspecial]

Few sources for this, mostly coming from 4gamer.net (Non-English). (TechPowerUp) (Nordic Hardware)

Some interesting bits:

- Cores running at 1.4V

- Cores run at independent frequencies

- showing 19°C core temp, but could be broken temp sensors

- FX8110BE comes in a nice tin!

Independent frequencies sounds like a nifty feature, wonder if you'd run into problems with very different frequencies on each core though. Perhaps the BIOS will only let you bump it a few MHz each way.

cool nice find hope they dont cost to much lol.

I really hope they hold off on this for a few months.... I just bought my new rig and although I got the AM3+ Sabertooth so I can upgrade to this when it comes out I also got the 1090t to hold me over. Would like to use it for more than a week.

P.S. For reference my parts are going to get here tomorrow >< hah

intresting. i think the cores are just declocking themselfs if they are not being used and the others get boosted, was the 1090 does untill you disable it

good feature though, not many aps will use 8 cores, not many use 4 atm lol

Well could i just cut the cpu in half with a knife and run two crysis session at the same time?

, Since that would be four core and four core

lol tempting, but i will be getting one, i multitask my computer alot, i be recovering files for a client while destroying the russian army on bad co 2 lol and downloading stuff.

+1

2 VM sessions, set 4 cores on each?

+2 on that lol

I cant lie back when i used to be in end game content back in my wow days, And we would be pushing 25 man guild progression. And have 14 hour wiping sessions. I would litterly be playing gta4 on my second monitor or crysis or another just because i would mute the GM after he started giving the explination of who screwed up and killed us last time. >.>, Perfect time to take use of 8 cores xD

 

[Stryker64]

19*C on idle and 21.5*C at load. If AMD had a stock cooler that could pull that off they'll drive everyone including Noctua out of business xD

Also can't wait. How well Bulldozer goes will determine whether or not I convert to the Intel *shudder*

 

[AMDFTW]

OMDZZZZ i cant wait for this

 

[mrDMxtreme]

do you guys think it'll come close to the 2600k (since that's the unlocked "8" core from intel) ?? (i mean both in performance)

and do you think it'll be cheaper if it actually does somehow beat the 2600k?

2600k is 4 core bro. Bulldozer from amd is the only 8 core that has been announced competing against upcoming 1155 cpus along with yet to be released lga2011...

 

[Karlos_the_n00b]

Bulldozers on parade, like it

 

[blair]

I want to see how well they perform in the MB that are am3 but am3+ compatible.

The 2600k is a Quad core I.E. (4 cores), secondly it has already been shown that Bulldozer beats Sandybrige at the same clock speeds by about 1.5% and this is only AM3+ Once AM4 Comes along I am pretty sure Bulldozer is going straight for the Throat of Ivy Bridge

 

[nothingspecial]

Do we have any kind of ETA for AM4?

This is really complicating my plan for an xmas build!

And the 4/8 cores/threads can probably best be described (at least the way I understand it) as so: the 2600k does 8 threads as 4 interleaved, and the Bulldozers do 8 threads as 8 parallel, arranged on the silicon as 4 traditional cores would be.

Best way to think of it seems to be four dual-cores on one piece of silicon.

AM4 = late Q4 2011 (xmas)
