Once the benchmark figures say gaming is comparable to the best Intel has, 8 Core @ $300 i'm SOLD!

Hoss yuh getting 6 cores @ 150USD RIGHT NOW! 8 Cores @ 300USD... unless it performs like a AthlonXP core, it should be BESSSS

...until I get my LGA 2011 Ivy Bridge CPU that beats the pants off these for the same price.

Will it still be 'BESSSS' then?

IF it will be the same price is the question AND you can't forget price cuts :p it's been about price:performance for a LONG time now. AMD plays all the games out there with the best of em, I said gaming, nothing more, nothing less.

i still think that these dates and prices are fake because the FX8150 was set to release Q2 2012.. let's just wait and see what happens next month.

I read one or two of the reviews.

AMD has finally brought the pain with the FX-8150.

I tell you...this new CPU is the stuff legends are made of, especially when you consider
the price point. I didn't expect it to dethrone Intel's 980/990X, but boy oh boy am I
impressed with its overall performance. No logical cores here. Eight bad-boys FTW.

I fully expect that Intel's Sandy Bridge-E/X79 CPUs might remove some of that luster
in the coming months, but I also expect the price to be significantly higher as well.

At 245 US though, suddenly I have to seriously reconsider my upgrade options,
but I will wait to see how the market shapes up when Intel drops their LGA-2011 CPUs.

Still, I can't help but wholeheartedly recommend this as a seriously viable upgrade option,
especially when paired with the outstanding Asus Crosshair V Formula 990FX motherboard.

GG AMD. Finally.

i am sticking with what i have for now and will see what the future has to offer, i am at a good position to play bf3 and that's good enough for me.. i am just wondering if to get another 560ti or just get a 580 instead.

to tell you the honset truth Arc, i am not seeing a much improvement from the black edition 6 cores, hence the reason i said i would wait, i am kinda disappointed.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #96 on:** October 12, 2011, 09:33:22 AM »

Well, the gains from 6 to 8 cores may not be as substantial, so I can appreciate
your disappointment, but the FX-8150 was made for overclocking. I am sure that
disappointment will evaporate once you see the results at 4 GHz and above.

8 physical cores running at 4GHz+ is beastly performance.

I would like to see a direct comparison of this against one of the lower tier
LGA-1366 Intel CPUs though, like the 920, or 950, which are around the same price point.
I'm willing to bet the FX-8150 might come out as the winner there.

phoenix31tt · « **Reply #98 on:** October 12, 2011, 10:31:54 AM »

sure 8 physical cores @ 4ghz would be nice.. if applications could actually multi-thread for it...

i think these conclusions sums up pretty much why the bulldozer not living up to its name:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fx-8150-zambezi-bulldozer-990fx,3043-24.html

http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-fx-8150-processor-review/21

overclocking numbers arent everything

in terms of gaming performance, they are just reaching up to the i2500k with this chip at a higher price.

until games start to heavily utilise multi-threads more over 6-8 cores, amds current formula will not beat intels (fast per core performance)

EmperorXavier · « **Reply #99 on:** October 12, 2011, 10:58:21 AM »

i wonder if the LCK will be shipped with the product.hmmm
