I'm wondering if AMD will allow the quad to perform better in single threaded apps. Shutdown a core in each module -> each core has all the cache and other resources that normally 2 have. Should give a nice boost. Should end all the "oh...

Quote:Originally Posted by james8;14385144 maybe that's true for overclocked AMD CPUs to beat Intel CPUs at stock. It's also about getting the FASTEST chip and overclock it BEYOND the word FASTEST Then why don't you have an 2600K ?

Quote:Originally Posted by th3illusiveman;14384806 So excited to see what AMD has been cooking up. Their APU's were great disappointments from the CPU perspective lets hope Bulldozer is worthy of the FX branding.That was expected...

Quote:Originally Posted by EvoBeardy;14384050 I probably won't be able to afford more than the FX6XXX, hoping that drops in around what the Thuban's were, at around £150. Woulda been nice to have an 8-core for when I'm rendering...

Quote:Originally Posted by Wishmaker;14383909 Of course it does the only flaw in that is that we've moved from the 990x since SB came out I doubt I'm the only one that would prefer an 990X over an 2600K. Also, why do all BD threads...

Quote:Originally Posted by the_beast;14383807 how so? Matching Intel's last-gen chip doesn't make it a winner in my book, especially if it needs (almost) twice the cores to do it...So performance ~ 990X with possibly higher clocks,...

Well even if it *only* matches nehalem, it's a clear winner. Anyone denying this fact is just a plain fanboy. And please, don't quote me and say it won't be as good in gaming, I never said that.
