    AMD Bulldozer Reviews - Result: Unimpressed.

    AMD FX-8150 Review: From Bulldozer To Zambezi To FX : AMD Sets The Stage For FX’s PerformanceHARDOCP - Introduction - AMD Bulldozer / FX-8150 Desktop Performance ReviewAMD FX-8150 8-Core CPU Review: Bulldozer Is Here - HotHardware

    Surprisingly one day after I purchase a new PC upgrade, AMD releases the embargo on Bulldozer CPUs, luckily the reviews still say to buy a sandy bridge i5, and they're on the internet, so it must be true.

    just in case you can't tell because of the resize, the overclock wattage is 586. That's many, many watts.

    My i5-750 could probably shit all over that AMD piece of crap.... that's it, I'm gettin a nVidia card before AMD brings this new 'direction' and craps all over ATI.

    Mind you my HTPC's E350 AMD Brazos is pretty sweet though... do have to give them that.
    GU - giving everyone the freedom to post whatever they want...
    so long as we can all pay them out if they missed an earlier thread on the same topic!

    Power consumption isn't that bad considering it actually has 8 discrete cores compared to 6 at best. Performance wise it's a little unappealing though.
