Its easy for people to bash AMD because thats what people want. Kinda like finding a bad review for amd and latching onto it like its god-sent.
Benchmarks is where Intel owns, but seriously, do you really think you can tell the difference between 96fps and 101 or 62.2 and 62.8?
I will say this, the 8150 is overpriced, esp when you take overclocking into consideration, the 8120 kills the 8150 in price/performance.
BD is disappointing because AMD marketing fked up, throwing crap around saying its going to be 500% faster than intel, wich spread like wildfire on the internet and when it came out, people were disappointed and refuse to look at it for what it is, instead look at it as what retards in marketing said. I don't buy a car because the saleman said its "uber." I buy it if it fits my needs in the real world. I don't play games at 1024x768 so I could care less, I look at 1900x1200 because thats what my monitor supports.
Lastly, if your playing with photoshop, last thing you want is to wait constantly. 3 seconds isn't much from the 2600k, but the "best AMD gaming cpu (everyone recommends the 980 right?)" wait time is 31seconds longer.
Performance is a balancing act. What are you doing with it? if your gaming and only gaming and spending ~$1000+ on gpu, then your stupid for buying anything less than SB-E, but if like the majority and using a budget $400 GPU or less, you won't notice a difference in games going from 92.3fps to 92.4 at the resolution you will be using (1900x1200).
