    Bulldozer

    Cinebench 11.5 can take advantage of 8 cores, yet i7 2600 beats it in that benchmark From what I seen i7 2600 is better than FX-8150 in most multi-threaded benchmarks. There is only few cases were FX-8150 wins As for single-threaded performance, Bulldozer is very weak. In some cases it is...

    Bulldozer

    Why would intel drop the price when they have faster CPU ? It is other way around. AMD should drop the price of bulldozer to compete with SB i5 2500 beats FX-8120 in almost all benchmarks. It even beat FX-8150 in a lot of benchmarks Not to mention that sandy bridge has lower power consumption.

    Bulldozer

    There are already many reviews for Bulldozer What I can tell you that FX-8150 is slower than i7 2600 in most multi-threaded benchmarks. I'm really surprised because FX-8150 not only have more cores but also has higher clock speed than a stock i7 2600 Single-threaded performance is horrible...
