FX8150 really not that bad. Its' actually pretty damn good.
operating system:Windows 7Been using 4 weeks. I am surprised there are no reviews for this cpu on Ebuyer, Novatech, UK Amazon, etc. So I will be first. My AMD rig = FX8150, Gigabyte UD7 AM3+ mb, 580gtx, 8GB DDR3 corsair vengeance ram at default 1333MHz, 1200watt psu. Everything is working perfectly. I ran cpu bench mark tests. The FX8150 CPU results:
CPU integer maths: 1663.9 out of 2000
CPU floating point maths: 5404.6 out of 6000
CPU-find prime numbers: 1704.1 out of 2000
CPU-SSE: 30.2 out of 40
CPU compression: 9850.1 out of 10,000
CPU encryption: 28 out of 30
CPU-Physics: 513.6 out of 600
CPU-string: sorting 6170.4 out of 7000
Compare this to my previous I7-960 rig (Asus sabretooth X58mb, 12GB Kingston hyperX ram @ 1600MHz, 560 GTX Ti SOC, 1200 watt psu:
CPU integer maths: 1079.5 out of 2000
CPU floating point maths: 1416.1 out of 2000
CPU-find prime numbers: 765.3 out of 800
CPU-SSE: 8.8 out of 10
CPU compression: 4160 out of 5000
CPU encryption: 13.3 out of 20
CPU-Physics: 257.8 out of 300
CPU-string sorting: 2712 out of 3000
In a nutshell is as fast as my I7-960 with video/music encoding, surfing net, using various software, etc. Is also far better than I7-960 for gaming. Even with the 560 GTX Ti SOC (before getting the 580GTX two days ago), the picture quality when gaming with FX8150 was far better. Objects had better definition, richer colours, with a sort of 3D feel to it (by contrast, the I7-960 always had a distinct 2D feel). Now that I have a 580GTX, gaming is even better. A visual treat. FYI, Toms Hardware gave review saying that W7 and other software were never designed to work with 8 cores. Hence poor bench result for FX8150 which caused c.40% bottle neck performance. MS are engineering a patch for W7 which should resolve this problem. Should hopefully see at least 25% improvement in performance. W8 will be fully compatible with BD 8 core and piledriver 10 core cpu's. I'm glad I got this. Cant wait for piledriver and the new 1090FX mobo which should hopefully have PCIE3 lanes (AMD keeping very quiet about it but sees the need to satisfy enthusiast requirements). I have no regrets migrating from Intel to AMD.
To the person commenting on the reviewer
The i7 and FX SSE chipsets are totally different, and the scores were correct.
You cannot just multiply 8.8 by 4 and have a out of 40 score. Since the FX had a reason why it was out of 40 and not 10.
Research a bit about it to see why.
Other than that it IS the fastest CPU on the market so far, and at a great price.
