Take any review, they all basically have the same conclusion, a present day intel out preforms !!!!!!!

the AMD.

 

 

You might have 8 cores but it preforms like an intel Quad.....

From Tom's Hardare one, I think this says it all:

 

But by the time it emerges for the enthusiast market, AMD will probably have to contend with Ivy Bridge, armed with advancements of its own. This isn?t a good thing. I want to see competition?a battle that keeps both Intel and AMD innovating. Does today?s FX invoke the Athlon 64 FX-51 that compelled Intel to rebadge a Xeon and come up with the Extreme Edition moniker back in 2003 just to compete? Not really, no. In fact, the chip giant didn?t have to do anything at all. Its nearly year-old 95 W parts fend for themselves without even a price adjustment.

 

Again AMD is doing a good job, but is still just 1 step behind. When will be ready, will still 1 step behind because Intel will be out with something new.

 

The example with the FX-51 is perfect and I d love to see again that kind of competition, but is not there yet; and at the end, the concept still is the same:

 

Do you want top notch performances and you can pay for them, you still go Intel, are you on a budget and want respectable perfrmances, knowing you get what you pay for, you go AMD.

 

And I do build AMD machines for ppl, that just depends on their budget and on what they want and really need ;) It s all good :) I have an AMD myself as HTPC and I couldn t be happier :)

Well they have been hideing in the back like intell did and the next thing you know Wamo super kick ass chip will emerge. we will see, itell will be going back to second place, just a matter of when. Enjoy it wile they can. Its the first of the series. So get your digs in wile you can, be ready to head to the back of the buss with your $1000. cpu, might be able to sell it for 50 bucks at the flea market.

 

Diden't i hear that intell stold amds hyperthreading or the memory controller for their 950 or what ever it is extream i7. or copyed it.

Well that clown in the review didnot say what type of ram, and at what freq its running at, and every thing IS set to stock settings. Or if the Bulldozer is set at 4 or set at 8 cores running. And what will it over clock to before flying off the board. Ya well my 426 ci hemi will only run at 200 hp with a 2 barrel carbuatior on it at stock settings.

 

But i drop in a high lift cam and 2- 4 barrel carbs on a tunnel ram intake and a magic 600 horsepower appears with setting the timeing at 4 degrees before top dead center..

 

That is like setting all the bios at automatic and wonder why it won't run.

 

The bulldozer will run at 4 gig in the 4 core mode stock. It is unlocked so with some better cooling, i wonder what it could run to.

 

But with all the frame rate locks in the games all of them will run about the same. The intell runs about the same, becouse it has AMDs hyperthreading controllers. And most of it is limmited to the buss speeds on the boards.
