Intel vs AMD

For 80% of consumers, its pretty hard to go beyond the 4770K and just use onboard graphics.

For the rest of us, the CPU is almost never the bottle anymore.

They're pretty sure about 2 cpus FX8750 and FX 9000.
First cpus with steamroller cores will be kaveri in the 4Q of this year, FX chips will come later, probably next year.
I also heard that some kaveri chips are already sent to consumers for testing, but the date is stated very clear Q4 2013.

Looks now to be true. Seems it will be a FX 9590 at 5ghz. and a FX 9370 at 4.7ghz on turbo.

Yep, the TDP is not sure yet. But probably 220 like stated before in the rumors.
The base clock will probably be 4.8ghz.
I read somewhere that the price would be 800$, but I don't believe that...
Right price/performance with powerconsumption as 3rd factor would bring it around the price of the new i7 4770k or less. It offers better multi, a bit worse singlethreaded.

I used the average of some FX8350s @ 5Ghz to have a prediction of the performance.
But this proves nothing, because the turbo is 5Ghz, not all cores. So singlethreaded will be about right (21% better seems about right), multithreaded (24% better, probably more like 20% if it's only turbo) and 4 threads (25% better with all cores @ 5ghz, more like 20-21% with only 1 @ 5ghz)) could be a little less.
In total it's about 23.4% faster with every core set to 5ghz, more like 20% in real.

Sad I don't have any i7 4770k or i7 3930k stock results...
Also, if you want me to add some cpu to compare, tell me.

Also have to mention that these chips will be sold to system builders first, we don't know or they will get available at the retail market at all.

Wonder if it will ship with a water cooler like they offered the 8350s, but might not have anything like the 3930k, dont think they come with coolers

Read whole my post, it's available for systembuilders this summer, not in the retail market. That will be later or maybe even never.
 
No, these are not Streamroller. Steamroller doubles up on decodes. Dynamic L2, which really just saves power. Also heard it will increase L1 cache size. Will have clock mesh. Plus it will be on 28nm. Bulk
