After so much postponing, AMD is finally releasing its new processor series based on the "Bulldozer" architecture, the FX, featuring models with four, six, or eight processing cores. Let's test the top-of-the-line, the eight-core AMD FX-8150 (3.6 GHz), which is placed between the Core i5-2500K (3.3 GHz) and the Core i7-2600K (3.4 GHz) in terms of price. We are also including the six-core Phenom II X6 1100T (3.3 GHz), which was previously the fastest processor from AMD. Let's see who the winner is.
The AMD FX is the latest of the CPU family from AMD, using the new "Bulldozer" architecture. Let's take a look at the main specifications of all models released so far.
So what we'll be looking at today is the performance of the new FX-8150 against the much loved i7 2600k. Because both brands have so much focus on the overclocking side of things, that was today our focus as well. If you're going to opt for a high end CPU and video card, you want to make sure that you don't create any kind of bottleneck which is of course another reason why we're overclocking here today.
heute wurde der AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer 8-Kern Prozessor vorgestellt und bereits umfangreich getestet.
Zambezi is the fourth-longest river in Africa (the one with the beautiful Victoria Falls), and also the codename for the new FX series of "Bulldozer" desktop enthusiast CPUs from AMD. After months of speculation and spin about the launch date and performance numbers, the new processors have finally hit the shops and we bring you our review of the top of the line FX-8150. Also, stand a chance to win a ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula 990FX Motherboard (details inside).
I used to be quite a big fan of AMD, when the good old Athlon Mobile processors hit the market. They seemed to offer the best bang for buck in terms of performance and overclockability and they quickly became a hit.
Depuis le lancement en demi-teinte des Phenom (I et II) basés sur K10, tous les yeux se sont tournés vers la future microarchitecture CPU du fondeur avec l'espoir de voir cette dernière concurrencer efficacement l'éternel rival Intel. D’abord attendu pour le second trimestre de cette année, Bulldozer puisque c'est son nom, n'a malheureusement pas respecté son créneau de lancement initial, seules les cartes mères AM3+ équipées des chipsets série 9 dédiés à ces nouveaux CPU ont bien voulu pointer le bout de leur nez à cette époque ! Nous voici à présent au dernier trimestre 2011 et les processeurs FX étrennant cette nouvelle architecture Buldozer d'AMD sont enfin là ! Celle-ci justifie-t-elle son nom en emportant la concurrence sur son passage, ou s'agit-il d'une nouvelle désillusion pour la marque ? Réponse dans ce dossier.
Enfin ! Après des mois, voire des années d'attente, l'architecture Bulldozer d'AMD se dévoile enfin au travers de la gamme de processeurs FX, et de son fleuron, le FX-8150, qui fonctionne sur un socket AM3+.
It’s been in the news for the majority of this year and lots of speculation was going around about it and how it would perform, especially when compared to the Intel i5 2500k and i7 2600k and of course the existing flagship AMD Phenom II X6 1100t. We were one of the first to report on any speculated rumours and benchmarks as it came out and even saw it first hand at Gamescom, Cologne in Germany running Dirt 3 inside a glass cabinet.
It has been a while since AMD has revamped their CPU lineup. New Graphics Cards are introduced on a regular basis, though mostly their silicon motherboard processor variants are not. Mostly a brand new breed of CPUs goes hand in hand with the launch of a new CPU socket. And if the end user is really unlucky the RAM and CPU cooler need a swap too. It has been over 18 months since AMD introduced their hexacore Thuban CPU. So it was about time to give an answer to Intels SandyBridge lineup. Or why not even aim for Intels high end socket 1366 Gulftown lineup. With every new CPU release, speculations rule the various forums. How the design is gonna be, performance expectations, die size, TDP,.. you name it and has been dealt with on the tech sites. On the 12th of October AMDs new born CPU core baptized Zambezi, for the desktop PCs and for the servers Interlagos and Valencia will see the daylight. Let's open the press kit.
