(HOT!) AMD FX-8150 Vs i5 2500k/i7 2600K benchmark tests ,the Bulldoser reviews

Don't you feel that everything is red today ? AMD make some noise these days,
during the past two mounts Intel dominate the CPUs market with the new arch Sandy Bridge CPUs featuring a new technology aimed to push the performance of the 32nm process to the limits.

AMD respond with the release of the AMD FX Bulldozer based CPU using 32nm process technology, AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer line with total eight physical cores inside, using a new architecture promising a dramatical performance improvement per every watt in addition to a dynamic frequency technology "AMD turbo core technology v2.0" on heavy load process, supporting of the SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, CLMUL, AVX and the new XOP, FMA4 instructions, the AMD FX processor fully unlocked and ready for overclocking when needed, the price tag is set to 245$, AMD make it worth a close number to the Sandy Bridge chip.






AMD roadmap for its next generation which use Bulldozer based cores architecture, during next four years AMD will release a new successor series :

As the new product hit the markets, reviews are online comparing the new AMD's generation with the available CPUs, tests compare the AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer with the direct competitor from Intel, the core i5 2500k and the i7 2600K.

A close look at the AMD Bulldozer arch:


Using 2MB of cache for each core, the AMD FX-8150 Bulldoser feature a new CPU max turbo core mode in addition to the CPU turbo core mode, squeezing more Mhz from the chip when using heavy load applications and save power when in Idle.
