the cons of bulldozer, here's the pros, it beat the 2500k on i think 2 or 3 benchmarks and like 3 games, just about it, it sucks atm, there are a few patches in the working for the windows scheduler so it utalizes the cores properly and a bios update too, but it won't make up the gap completely from what they've been saying. really the 8150 loses to the 1100t in most cases, that's what's so sad.
Maybe i should be more specific.
Does the FX8150 compare with the 2600K in OC clock range? (as far as i know, they match in GHz. Both OC air cooled at around 5GHz no?)
For multi-tasking, does the FX8150 out perform the 2600k?
Benchmarks: I know the FX8150 has been lacking, but by how much? significant difference?
The Windows scheduler is the only problem? So if a person doesn't use that, should be no problem? (i never do).
I just take a look at the price difference, if the FX8150 is close to performing as good as the 2600K, I am willing to lose a little bit. But if there is a substantial difference in performance and overclocking, then go for the 2600K.
Thanks for your help
overall, you'd be better off with a 2500k than a 8150 or 8120...
did you see the same benches i saw where the 2500k only lost maybe 5 out of the 20 benches and all?
and i think in threaded apps the t won the majority of them.
and how much less does the 1100t cost, or even the 1090t since you can just hit the multi up a little.
Cancelled my order... Gonna wait it out this time. Plus I need a better graphic processing unit instead, and 560Ti SLI is looking attractive.
that's what i said a while ago, someone got a 8150 so i said get them and bigfella together and we compare the benches for ourselves so we have a concrete set of numbers, only problem is i can see bigfella cheating/lying to keep intel's precious title of best.
Now as i have been following along, i have been trying to grasp the opinions about the bulldozer. Hard as one topic goes off trail, then the next. Can anyone give me the short version of the cons of the FX8150? I understand that it is not a "true" eight core, as in the traditional sense of having 8 physical cores (this part doesn't bother me). As well as i am confused with the "windows 7 issue" > what is this? lol.
Maybe taking many steps back, but i'm just having a hard time following along lol.
Thanks
i was more kidding about bigfella but i also wouldn't put it past him the way he talks half the time.
