"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
Hm the only thing that I really do not like is the energy consumption. Embarrassingly high! I'd get myself the 8120 if it would run on my Biostar AM3 board...
Single threaded performance is my biggest concern, and compared to Sandy Bridge there's a good 40-50% advantage the i5 2500K enjoys over the FX-8150.

its efforts in our single-threaded image editing test were dire compared to every other processor on test. Even worse, this supposedly 8-core CPU running at 3.6GHz was hardly much faster than a six-core Phenom II X6 1100T running at 3.3GHz in heavily multi-threaded applications that saturate all available execution cores.
I checked out Anandtechs CPU-comparison and even my i5 750 @ stock outperforms the FX-8150 in most tests.
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.

I think the biggest issue is that this CPU is almost in the i7 2600K price range, with performance comparable to the 2500K (or worse).
Oh well, makes choosing an upgrade easier for me this time.
For me the biggest issues -> power consumption, that an 8 core computer BARELY outperforms a quad and that it sometimes even fails against a "last" gen 6 core AMD CPU...
At least the prices for the Phenom II X6 might fall now and I can get a good 6 core CPU for ~ 100 €
Should be much faster than my Athlon II X4, right?

What reviews are you reading? i5 2500k is cheaper and outperforms the 8 core. the i7 quad 2600k absolutely destroys it for not much more cash.
It's total fail.
BARELY outperforming its quad rival would be a massive improvement.
Single threaded performance is like pentium iii lol
They are a disaster.

It's almost always faster than the 2500k. Not in single threaded apps though.
And cheaper is a matter of where you live. Ofc the americans get the fucking i5's for free(130€ I think?!)
In germany they still cost 190€... So the FX8150 will most probably cost as much...
I read bit-techs and overclock 3d's reviews.
They show the i52500k beat the FX chip almost everwhere.
The review you are reading decided to go clock for clock when overclocking for some reason?
Not showing you the true overclocking potential/performance of both chips.

I expect the 8150 to be over 200€ based on the prices listed. 220-250€ perhaps. Unless AMD sees that this won't do, with much more value in the 2500K, and lower the prices.
AMD forever lost any hope of ever beating Intel again when they gave up their own fabrication plants. There is no way they will ever be able to touch Intel again given the fact that their fab technology will be a complete generation behind Intel's. Really a shame, because the competition we had for about a decade between the two was great. I'm not sure why anyone expected Bulldozer to change the game.
Intel comes to AMDs defence. John Fruehe, Marketing Director for Enterprise/Server hardware, has an account @ www.overclock.net (JF-AMD) where he's been pummelled to death by Intel fanboys and haters in general. Then this came up:
"I think everybody needs to cool down a little. JF-AMD is like me, passionate about what he does, if you don't believe into it, you can't put so much energy into making those Processors.
Green or Blue, we are all Geeks excited and just never forget, those Processors are the most complex machines build by human kind, at the smallest scale.
Not one man can claim to make any of this by himself, those are massive undertaking, the size of those transistors are mind blowing.
So, yes, there is competition, and yes, this architecture is not the happiest , but at least show some respect to the men who dedicated their life to build such complex machines.
It is ok to make a little fun of it, but please respect the men behind it, and get some perceptive, see how large is the achievement of putting something like Bulldozer together.
So, I am respectfully asking all of you to stay gentlemen ... No personal attack is ever acceptable.
For me the bulldozers will be great because the fx 8150 beats the 2600k in h264 encoding performance which is what I need for new servers of my youtube clone site
Will you also run the windows 8 beta in those servers?
