Another false story around is that - "Saar, Microsoft ka program AMD par nahi chalega. Kewal Intel par chalega"... hehe

[modeSEVEN]

On the other hand, I've always had stable AMD PCs and BSOD'in b!tches intel PCs. All the way from Pentium 3 at that.

OBR calls BD crap

why the same news again??? just a different source, add it to the OP.

I was recently regaled by tales of:
"Saab AMD bakwaas company hai sasta maal banta hai."
"Overheat ho ke computer crash ho jata hai saab."
So, yeah.
Hoping for the best from AMD, they have done an excellent job so far controlling leaks. So I'm guessing it's gonna be big.
The FX-8120 is roughly priced at i5 2500K territory I believe.
Let's see if Moar Cores=Moar performance, but regardless of the FX-8170 and i7 2600K battle turns out, I am sure people into CPU-intensive stuff such as rendering and such will find the 8-core to be really awesome.

Every word is so true. When i hear these shits from the retailer, i show them

OBR is a joke in the international community... in ocn his articles are classified 'dirty rumors'.. his ES was the first ever bulldozer to be released. since then two revisions have come out.. also the max he could overclock his chip was 5.2ghz. That should tell you something about him!!

hahahaha, are you sure???? He is/was a very respected overclocker worldwide (I use was for a very different reason altogether) and has been known to leak early info since a long time. Ofcourse anyone who has been following CPU releases for a long time will know that CPUs go through various revision before hitting retail, so take the results with a pinch of salt. Infact he himself says the same thing.

He is a respected overclocker i agree, but for BD he has taken an aggresively negative node based on the ES. For him it should be like gold right.. 8.4ghz!! his chip was initially having bios issues then boot issues then very slow performance. still he says performance bad because of it.. would you do that banikda? when a chip you tested clocked out at 5.2ghz but newer revision can hit 8.4, you should not condone its performance based on older results... but just my opinion

[Aumkar]

If AMD manages to match SB or even IB ( wishful thinking ) clock for clock, then we may have a winner.

+1, He repeatedly claimed that BD is crap, and even marked all benches with text saying "BD is crap". As a overclocker he should know that his chip is not the final revision and not to judge BD's performance based on that, and Calling BD crap is uncalled for.

go to his blog ,and see how many times he mentioned BD as crap.
From his blog i could only see his hatred towards AMD and BD.

@thebanik take a look here, you are mentioned on his blog. see this page

I have no hopes from AMD to match Intel clock to clok but may be just may be VFM will be BD's selling point.

Yeah, I didnt visit his site after the initial leak, I see that he bashed BD pretty bad.

OMG!!!! he has crawlers all around the web it seems, . Yup I see he went beyond reporting the results and let readers make their own assumption, which is what benchers should avoid.

Yup clock to clock, matching SB would have been a mammoth task. Almost everyone was amazed at the performance of SB when it was launched. But yeah even if it proves to be just 10-20% slower clock to clock, atleast benchers would have a nice time playing with it under LN2 and ofcourse there is the point of VFM which AMD has been playing for a long time.

[mav2000]

Forget clock for clock....that may or may not happen, and I dont know about that. Lets put things in perspective. Any 4 core desktop CPU with a good GPU can run all the games on the market today. Most applications still dont run multi thread very well. Maybe video and audio apps but thats for a minority of people....so does it really matter if its faster than/equal to/slower than SB/IB..

Anyway for me, if I am going to have some fun overclocking it, then thats it for me....thats what interests me. I am goign to run this on air, water, LN2 and anything else I can lay my hands on....

And Truthfully SB is boring to OC as compared to AMD PII....but thats just my opinion..
