Fx 6100!!!!

Alright, i don't mean to start any flame wars here, but im wondering how well the FX 6100 does in comparison to the Phenom 2 x6 1100t. I'm wondering how well the "six cores" of BD do compared to the six from phenom and would this chip have better performance because it doesn't have as many cores. I'm not an expert at micro architectures and whatnot but I'm wondering if it can scale up like a six core processor or if its just more of a wimpy three module chip. Plus it is only 95w compared to the 125 of the 8150. So I'm just wondering if anyone has seen any reviews or would know about this chip. And again not trying to dispute which chips are the best or any of the crap just wondering how they compare.
 
Thanks sequoia the graphs were helpful and it looks like it does decent compared to the x6 and it does have lower power consumption.
 
Ok, so for the same price would the 6100 be a better choice you say its comparable at top overclocks its newer and it uses less power right. so it seems like it would be a good option right.

um at 4.4 it will use way more power. I would choose the Phenom 2 X6.
 
On paper, it looked great before the BD launch. Now, it seems that it is worse in every way vs. the 8xxx series. It could have been a great SKU.
 
think of the 6100 as a hyperthreaded x3. when you think of it like that and the 8100 as a hyperthreaded x4, the performance is pretty nice.

No... I don't know where you inferred that. If overclocking both, an FX-6100 would consume more power and have comparable performance to a $150 Phenom II X6 1055T. So no, it's not better at all.

I have looked at many more reviews of bulldozer than just those charts that were linked, it excels in very few areas, pun not intended.

But those charts aren't showing it being better in Excel or decompressing files. I don't understand your comment, still.

When compared to X6 1100T.. a 6100 is better.

Duh! Here I'm looking at the Intel comparisons. Lost track of the Op.

It should be apparent to people that Bulldozer's strength is too narrowly focused to be useful to consumers and even most professional workstation users. As it is now it's just not a good chip. Not good for most people, and definitely not good for AMD.

If only Sandy Bridge didn't exist, bulldozer would look pretty good in most of these charts. Not bad, just falls short in comparison to the absolute best.
 
Ok but the 6100 starts as 95w and the x6 is 125w so i get that overclocking it higher would put the voltage up higher but if doing that would make them comparable and they are the same price the newer architecture would be better right.

Meaningless. Those TDP numbers are approximates that don't hold much of a candle in the real world.

And the 1055T overclocks the same as the 1100T and it costs $40 less. So no, the newer architecture would not be better.
