Which new bulldozer will you most likley buy???

[badtaylorx]

Well it seems like were getting pretty close to this damn chip coming out finally ......i just wanted to get a feel for which version people want to buy...

i myself am pretty sure that ill opt for the 4170 quad core...... as i dont really see myself needing 8 cores.......i only game and use for multimedia purposes and the 4200mhz stock............thats nice.......the only part that concerns me is the turbo is only 4300mhz......


anyway.....im only interested in hearing from those who are actually considering this purchase........im not looking to start a flame war........just which one you want and why........

thanx

Doubt I'm getting bulldozer, more important things to spend my money on right now since I did build a gaming rig around the X4 965BE and a new workstation with the X6 1090T earlier this year. Still got my old X4 940BE, X4 9850BE, and X4 640 used on a regular basis too. I simply have no use for another computer, and even the old Phenom 9850 is powerful enough for 95% of my tasks.

I'm going to be overclocking the FX-8150 to the 7th layer of hell & back

i am going to be overclocking the FX-8120 to hell and back

I have to buy tires x 4. So now BD is less likely

I Wouldn't get bulldozer now because in 2 or 3 years, bulldozer ganna feel like a dual core as 8 cores is ganna come out during 2013/2014 lol, i just heard/read from some article or thread XD...

NEWSFLASH In 2-3 years current generation computer hardware will no longer be best performers. World markets are shaken by this news and Blue Chip stocks are down 10%

and now this...............

Maybe you could buy tyres x 3 and unlock the 4th tyre?

 

[badtaylorx]

hmmmmm......i was really hoping for the 4170 to be there on release....

maybe ill just get the 8150,,, identify its best 4 cores,,, disable the others,,, and clock the $h!t atta'v it......make my own FX4190 !!!!!!!

 

[farrengottu]

i dont know how reliable this is but it makes me want the 8150

[Motopsychojdn]

Yeah those are still DH's faked benchies, as first posted a few posts up from Lenzfire site, it would be nice to think BD is going to be the force we all want it to be, but its a waiting game still

[farrengottu]

eh two weeks left. it should fly by.

 

[badtaylorx]

no those are official amd slides......they may be cherry-picked but benches none the less

 

[farrengottu]

proper benchmarks are out but so disappointing that i dont want to believe them.
anyways lab 501 over in Romania released them.
heres a link
http://lab501.ro/procesoare-chipseturi/amd-fx-8150-bulldozer-preview
i think its wrong just because it does worst in the gaming benchmarks than it should. it does worst than some phenom IIs which i cant believe.

 

[badtaylorx]

[leon2006]

None... Its a big let down

 

[sebastien]

I am not an Oc'er per se. I was hoping a bit more than what is on BD FX Reviews which could have been a deal maker for an entry level workstation but unfortunately I will have to go with Xeon SBe if opteron BD appear disappointing in real performance. I do not want, use, or need VT that is my problem with server CPU. Some SBe I5 xeon seem to respond well to my need but I wait to see what is going with Opteron BD, I really, really, really hope AMD does not only focus on VT industry or clearly under perform with their 4000 series.

On another thought, I'll buy whatever beats 2500k and rub it into Intel fanboys faces

Heh, that would be an i7-2600K or -2700K .

 

[cmadrid]

or the upcoming SB-Es and IBs
