hi,,,,i just wanna ask weather the amd bulldozer be good for gaming as compared to the sandy bridge and the existing core i5 i7 proccesors also when will it be released?
some human beings are retarded. How ought to it no longer run video games? Why might extra cores no longer today disqualify it? you could run video games on a CPU with 200 cores if suggested CPU is of the right shape. That being suggested, it extremely is a surprisingly dumb thought to get an FX 8150 for video games as you are going to have countless cores sitting idle all day, to no longer point out the IPC of the FX sequence is piss-damaging. Evaohell, did you even examine the the remainder of this placed up? 8 cores for enjoying video games is idiotic whilst video games won't use them AND whilst Bulldozer has a crappy IPC. IPC = training in line with middle. think of of it as overall performance in line with middle. Run any single-threaded job on an FX CPU and watch it run like crap. To get you funds's nicely worth out of the FX 8150, you will darn nicely extra suitable be working purposes which will pound all 8 cores all day long, in any different case it extremely is a waste. by potential of the time many video games are hitting 8 middle utilization (if ever), the FX 8150 would be out of date besides.
After reading a little about it, AMD is also going after the multi-thread optimizations found in Intel processors. Currently Intel has their Hyper Threading design WITH multiple core CPUs, AMD just has multiple core CPUs but the Hyper Threading isn't something found in an AMD CPU and it's why the Intel chip out performs them. To be perfectly honest, until the actual game programming takes advantage of multi-threading, it really won't make much of a difference. Currently we witness AMD Phenom II X4's benchmark better *in gaming* than Phenom II X6's that are clocked slower than the X4, so the additional processing power of the 2 additional cores really doesn't matter much. The Bulldozer is a totally new design for AMD, and might be an Intel crushing CPU, but as far as games, I really don't think you will see much benefit. The only time you will is if they can clock them higher, but nobody seems too much in a hurry to break the 3.5GHz speed limit they have all been hovering around for the last 6-7 years. The only info I found says it is planned to be released in 2011.
