Its not AMD s fault that all the programs have been coded for intel chips.

Bulldozer is the worst CPU ever made (relatively to what is out there).

It's slower than the older 6-core AMD CPU's even when it's running half a GHz faster.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?276002-Compare-1090T-and-FX-8150

Crysis Benchmark, exactly the same settings:

Phenom II 1090T @ 4364MHz - Overall Average FPS: 48.45
Bulldozer FX8150 @ 4816MHz - Overall Average FPS: 44.91

A 6-core @ 4.3GHz outperforms the NEW 8-core @ 4.8GHz flagship CPU...

Just look at those tests. It's... Are You Serious

After all the time it took them to bring Bulldozer to the market this is really a sad result.

I fear that, in the end, AMD will have the same fate as Cyrix on the PC-CPU market. Complete Intel CPU monoply straight ahead... Sad

AMD served its purpose, they forced Intel into a difficult position so Intel had to innovate. I hope this shit won't mean Intel will stop giving a shit and stagnate again. Hopefully Ati won't be dragged down or cannibalized by the AMD part.

Its only good in very intense multithreaded programs when overclocked just because it has 8 cores. Other than that its shit, its clock vs clock performance is shit even compared to Phenom II (sandy bridge annihilates it in games). It should be called AMD Athlon x8 Very Happy

It kinda feels like AMD did the same fuckup as they did with Phenom series. First gen of Phenom didnt deliver at all what was promised and where shit CPU's.
Second gen Phenoms however, did ALOT better and did deliver what was promised, only problem, it was too late at that point.

This was my first Intel cpu, all the others where AMD (think 6 of them in total), can't say i made a bad decision after seeing all this grinhurt

There is a B revision of the 8 core coming already. not sure what it fixes though.

There are 4 generations of Bulldozers planned. Question is if they can fix the clusterfuck of a release before their performance CPU department is shut down forever. This Bulldozer release will put AMD so deep into the red that it will be difficult to get back while also redesigning their flawed chip. But they've done so before. New CEO will hopefully fix what the previous one destroyed.



Quote:
2nd Generation

AMD Financial Analyst Day 2010, revealed the 2nd generation is to be scheduled for 2012. AMD currently refers to this as Enhanced Bulldozer.

This new generation of Bulldozer core is codenamed Piledriver and will be incorporated into specific desktop and notebook markets:

Desktop Performance market (Volan platform): Zambezi will be replaced by Vishera (up to 8 cores). Vishera will feature Turbo Core 3.0 while using the existing Socket AM3+ format and 9xx series chipset of the 1st generation FX-series Zambezi processor. AMD has projected this 2nd generation FX-series processor will be 10% better under digital media workloads.


2nd generation doesn't stand a chance. 10% better under digital media workloads barely touches Phenom II.

Quote:
3rd Generation

AMD has mentioned (in name), of a 3rd generation Bulldozer-based line for 2013. It is currently referred to as Next Generation Bulldozer and will be made on the 22 nm FD-SOI manufacturing process.

On 21st September 2011, leaked AMD slides indicated this 3rd generation of Bulldozer core is codenamed Steamroller and will be incorporated into specific desktop and notebook markets


Quote:
4th Generation

On 12th October 2011, AMD revealed Excavator to be the codename for the 4th generation Bulldozer core. It is scheduled for 2014 release.



I doubt those plans will stick seeing how monumental of a failure the Bulldozer is. It needs a serious redesign and rethink. Meanwhile they should work on an improved Phenom III while redesigning a next-gen chip.

They need to get their IPC waaaaaaaaaaay up to ever be able to compete with Intel.


The fact is, a 6-core Phenom II outperforms the "8-core" FX-8150 even when the FX-8150 is running higher frequency in 90%+ of the tests.

Yeah it's big fuck up. Read some test, the worst thing is actually power consumption compared to performance.

Yeah, it's pretty sad that it can't even out gun it's own previous generation chip. But there is a bright side, if you make the GPU's do all the calculations, the CPU looks really good at 4.8GHz.

From the same guy that did all those tests I linked to.

I don't get the point of releasing a worst cpu than the ones that are already out there with the fact that they're CHEAPER.

Bulldozer could fail, their testing department were aware of the fail, I'm sure. But releasing it? Now that's nonsense.

Its ideal for some shit market computer, i can already see this line in some newspaper:

Found nice test from good finnish hardware site. Check how awesome bulldozer is compared to i5 2500K (also results when both are oc to 4.7Ghz) Very Happy Crushing victory for SB Very Happy

Funny that the cheapest bulldozer is almost on par with the 1100T or whatever it is..the 6 core CPU which is only a sliver better than my 965 quad Neutral

AMD....YOU DISAPPOINT ME AGAIN??!!

You'd think they would have learned their lesson from the AM2 socket fuck up
