It seems as though the poor performance in all of the leaked benches was not false after all... 🙁


Some screenshots from the video in case you don't want to go through the whole video:

Alright guys, we're rolling this into the Official Review Thread. Please continue there.

If this turns out to be true. It is truely baffling how they can go backwards in performance. Also explains why Dirk Meyer was forced out last year. They knew what was coming down the pipeline and it wasnt good.
 
Phenom II X6 1090T for $160 is going to sell out. I am impressed that AMD has been able to improve performance with their brand new Phenom II architecture despite having 2 fewer cores, using 45nm technology and lower clock speeds than the now 5-year-old Bulldozer architecture. Phenom II X6 1090T is going to be unbeatable value for those who run multi-threaded apps - launch date Oct 12th!!

At least FX8150 does better in more modern benches such as PCMark7 and 3DMark 11 vs. the 1100T.

But on a more serious note, WTH is AMD going to do when Haswell launches in 2013? I am hoping BD Next will have a huge 20-30% performance improvement.

In case of unable to view the video directly (which happened in my case), here are the direct download links >> amd_fx8150_ipad.mp4 and amd_fx8150.mp4. 🙂

There are other benchmarks like SuperPi, Cinebench R11.5, PCMark 7, Fritz Chess, 3dMark11, CPUMark 99 and AIDA64 (including FPU Julia), as well as game benchmarks too. 😉

I have updated the OP with screenshots from most of the benches.

Well, it's over a year away. They are supposed to release new chips before then. We'll just have to wait and see if they do and what they perform like.

On the topic of this thread though, those charts are awful. I can't imagine why they would release something like this? How can their new design be slower than their 5yr old design. They can't even compete with themselves, never mind Intel.
Unless AMD has something up their sleeve the mountain of evidence is getting too deep to simply ignore. Donanimhaber is a pretty crappy source, but that doesn't mean that they never get it right. 😉

Yea, if my motherboard supports hex core (AM2+ I got my money out of this thing!) that might be the best route for an inexpensive upgrade. But, it's still $160 for two more cores that will hardly ever be used and the hope of a few hundred more MHz. Maybe I'll own my first Intel desktop processor since the 486 days. Decisions, decisions...
 
There have been a few instances where a flawed designed was later redeemed:

Radeon HD2000 -> HD3000
Phenom -> Phenom II
GTX400 -> GTX500

Hopefully AMD manages to make something good out of this turkey at some point.

Lets hope

FX -> FX Next

fixes this awful problem

Pentium 4 --> Conroe? 😉











Kidding, I know that was a completely new microarch.
 
These benchmarks are supposed to be AVX and FMA4 aware.......

2011-10-09_175234.png

Core i7 2600K is 47.6% to 54.8% faster than FX-8150, somehow either AVX or FMA4 on Bulldozer is borked? :hmm:

From AIDA64 Extreme Edition - Benchmarks.......
FPU Julia Benchmark
This benchmark measures the single precision (also known as 32-bit) floating-point performance through the computation of several frames of the popular "Julia" fractal. The code behind this benchmark method is written in Assembly, and it is extremely optimized for every popular AMD, Intel and VIA processor core variants by utilizing the appropriate x87, 3DNow!, 3DNow!+, SSE, AVX or FMA4 instruction set extension. FPU Julia test is HyperThreading, multi-processor (SMP) and multi-core (CMP) aware.

FPU Mandel Benchmark
This benchmark measures the double precision (also known as 64-bit) floating-point performance through the computation of several frames of the popular "Mandelbrot" fractal. The code behind this benchmark method is written in Assembly, and it is extremely optimized for every popular AMD, Intel and VIA processor core variants by utilizing the appropriate x87, SSE2, AVX or FMA4 instruction set extension. FPU Mandel test is HyperThreading, multi-processor (SMP) and multi-core (CMP) aware.

Yeah, some of the graphs make the difference look huge, when in fact it's quite small in several cases, because the graph doesn't start a zero.

That still doesn't excuse the new flagship losing benchmarks to the "last-gen" 1100T. It should had been worst case as fast as 1100T, period.

I'm shocked that it evens get near 1100T but passmark has shown this already(1100T is slightly better at it than FX)

Microcenter's pricing will be $279.99 @ launch for the FX-8150 according to someone on OCN who leaked the official MC pricing data.

If it performs worse than an 1100T, AMD is going to have to drop the price A LOT to be competitive...

Surprising 1090T and 1100T both launched at $289.99 and $299.99 respectively

but had $100 off sales on most of the websites
