Return of AMD FX: My OC'd AMD FX 8150 with OC'd 6990 Review - First Results Up!

[Ferzerp]

You aren't upsetting "fanboys".

You *are* insulting our intelligence by assuming we don't see exactly what you're doing. You can feign innocence all day long, but it's so bloody obvious that it is disingenuous.

We would out you for doing the same crap with any other company's product as well. Don't try to play the victim here.

You're trying to polish a turd (either the chip, or your blog, not sure which) so that it is purchased/viewed. Whatever motivation you have, I don't care to speculate about, but it's exceedingly obvious that you are doing so.

Is it just me or do people get any when they see AMD doing half decent in benchmarks because most review sites chose benchmarks that put it in a bad light? So what If i posted 7zip benchmarks, why are people so hurt i did?? Its just a benchmark haha

Like I said, different CPUs will have different performance in different benchmarks, so get over it. If you would like me to add any benchmark to my review I am accommodating everyones requests across all forums! I think that is more than fair.

To say Bulldozer gets trumped by an i7 875k is just wrong, at their max potential the FX will come out ontop in numerous benchmarks. To get "trumped" would be comparing a pentium 4 to a 3960x, where not a single benchmark favours the pentium 4.

And how is it lies and gabrage? what proof do you have? All I have done is benchmarked my computer and posted the results. Unless you have my computer there with you, you cant make such a bogus claim.

Think what you may, I wont stop you. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

My review seems to make intel fanboys upset for some reason.. Would you feel better If i benchmarked 3Dmark2001? ;-) Because I said I am willing to benchmark anything, so make your point constructively instead of just attacking.

Pretty bold to call someone with an AMD Radeon HD 5850 an Intel fanboy. And soon I'll be buying an HD 7870 or 7890 (if that one exists), too. To be honest with you, AMD is kicking ass and taking names when it comes to graphics cards but currently their CPUs suck. That's the bottom line.

The proof that every technology site says bulldozer is lousy.

What are the chances they are all wrong and you are correct? Not good i think :\

Then why do you keep complaining that my benchmarks happen to be comparing with gulftown/nehalem if dozer gets smoked anyways? you dont see the irony in this??

Its not my fault Bulldozer does half decent in some benchmarks, what do you want me to do about it haha

Because your benchmarks are handpicked and BS. Ive linked you to several legitimate benchmarks which show bulldozer is a lousy CPU no matter how hard you try to spin this.

 

[Abwx]

He wants benchs that show his 2500K as better than BD....

So remember , only benchs lightly threaded and preferably
optimised for intel architecture...

 

[Abwx]

bulldozer is lousy.

Right , compared to you BD is incapable of thread trashing and highjacking...

 

[Maximilian]

*fanboy spam*

Sorry my 2500k has a built in bullshit detector and has censored your post, oh dear :\

 

[Ferzerp]

Ah yes, here's some more incomprehensible white-knighting of the spammer.

The only one that's hurt here is you. This whole AMD nonsense is centered on you, the subject here is you. You need to stop being obsessed to AMD. Brand fanboyism is stupid. It's the product that matters, not the brand. And in this case, AMD's offering is POOR. This has been hashed out endlessly, read back your own threads.

Like I said, different CPUs will have different performance in different benchmarks, so get over it. If you would like me to add any benchmark to my review I am accommodating everyones requests across all forums! I think that is more than fair.

The reason you're using 7Zip, and not gaming benches is because you're sided. The BD chip is good at threaded apps, but NOT at games, which is what you are NOT posting on purpose. You're cherry picking benches and you're irritating people. Give a break.

To say Bulldozer gets trumped by an i7 875k is just wrong, at their max potential the FX will come out ontop in numerous benchmarks. To get "trumped" would be comparing a pentium 4 to a 3960x, where not a single benchmark favours the pentium 4.

No, it's not. That's plain bullshit. If you look at here, you can see that BD is inferior to an i7 870.

http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-7970-cpu-scaling-performance-review/4

Add to that the i7 875k OC's wonderfully. You can take it to 4.5 Ghz. Clock per clock, the Lynnfield chip is superior to Bulldozer. Period. And it outperforms your chip more "efficiently".

And no, no single bench favours a P4 to an i7. The i7 is built on a much, much faster architecture. An i7 is faster than a P4 regardless of how you look at it. You don't understand the things you're talking about.

And how is it lies and gabrage? what proof do you have? All I have done is benchmarked my computer and posted the results. Unless you have my computer there with you, you cant make such a bogus claim.

My secondary machine has a Core 2 Quad and a pair of 470's. That system is just as good as what you have, and look at the age of those components. And you're here telling me that BD is awesome? Get real.

My review seems to make intel fanboys upset for some reason.. Would you feel better If i benchmarked 3Dmark2001? ;-) Because I said I am willing to benchmark anything, so make your point constructively instead of just attacking.

Ok then, how about you bench 3DM01 against my 470 SLi and QX9650?

 

[piesquared]

Oh yes you are, "Flippin_Waffles".

I think you're sniffing to much glue

The only site with more propaganda than Semi-Accurate, is AMDZone.


I make it my business to expose liars and deceivers.

the irony there is just too comical

Sorry it took so long to reply to your propaganda, but i've been watching the awesomeness from AMD financial analyst day. GPGPU and heterogeneous computing here we come. Don't you just hate when that happens?

 

[piesquared]

Even if you were a member of S/A, I don't see why that should be treated as a negative that needs to be disavowed.

S/A forums are rather decent IMO. And Charlie's articles are, well, entertaining at all times and quite informational at other times.

I'm not a member but I am a lurker, and I'm not a member only because I'm too lazy to bother registering. But I enjoy reading it.

It's not a negative at all, I enjoy reading Charlies articles just as much. My comment was a reply to that Knat's comment about propaganda.

I wasnt speaking to you specificaly, so dont get worked up.


@ Maximilian

"The proof that every technology site says bulldozer is lousy.

What exactly do you mean? What am I corretct or incorrect about? My benchmarks are within error of anyone who has similar parts to mine and uses the same benchmark tool, so how am I bullshitting?

Just because the 15+ benchmarks I have selected put bulldozer in good light doesnt mean that other benchmarks might not. And i have never stated that FX is good in absolutley every benchmark, so why do you keep acting like I said this anywhere??

Again, I have restated this over and over and some of you people really dont get it for some reason: If you want me to benchmark anything speicfic, please go ahead and ask me to. Simple as that.

 

[Ferzerp]

Please don't attribute other's comments to me. That's rather rude.

By the way, we do get it. You claiming we don't get it doesn't change the truth. We know exactly what you are doing. In fact, you could say that we've restated it over and over and for some reason you really don't get that we are not idiots.

 

[polyzp]

... but it's exceedingly obvious that you are doing so.

Doing what exactly?

 

[Johnny Doe]

I wasnt speaking to you specificaly, so dont get worked up.

Blaming "others" for your fanboyism isn't a valid response on your side. I'm not blaming "others" for your nonsensical posts.

 

[polyzp]

honest mistake, you responded before i could change it haha

 

[Ferzerp]

Honesty is a pretty interesting concept. It's pretty cut and dry.

 

[polyzp]

So If i created a blog putting FX in a terrible light, losing in absolutely every single benchmark, would you be equally as upset? or would you be satisfied? hah. Unless you benchmark absolutley every piece of software out there on every cpu, we cant get a perfect picture of their performance. Any given review site seems to come to a complete conclusion from whatever benchmarks they chose, even though they could have just as well selected differently.

I have really included alot of benchmarks here, don't believe me scroll down on my blog. And I am not even finished yet, so why do some people just want to argue for the sake of arguing?? >< And ontop of it, I havent come to any real conclusion about its performance. The whole point is just to focus benchmark to benchmark, and see a comparison.

 

[Ferzerp]

No, we would still tell you to stop because you're spamming all over the place and advertising your blog.

 

[polyzp]

No, we would still tell you to stop because you're spamming all over the place and advertising your blog.

Yeah but regardless of where I share my findings, you wouldn't be so dissatisfied with the results, dont lie..

 

[Ferzerp]

If you were being misleading? Yes, I would.

The people here with an agenda are you and that other guy with incomprehensible posts. Please stop projecting that on to others. Most of us are interested in accuracy. You're pushing an agenda and spamming on top of that.

 

[Johnny Doe]

Yeah but regardless of where I share my findings, you wouldn't be so dissatisfied with the results, dont lie..

Here's some REAL results... I like HONESTY.

The damn thing loses to a 3.5 year old chip... why is this thread still open?

 

[polyzp]

But I have asked you already how my individual results are misleading and you haven't even answered, instead continuing to make accusations ..

Be specific please

haha REAL?? This is all depending on what they choose to benchmark with.. stop acting like you dont know that

 

[polyzp]

I dont understand how you would jump from that to calling to close my post.. It seems like you are the one with the agenda not me..

 

[Johnny Doe]

haha REAL?? This is all depending on what they choose to benchmark with.. stop acting like you dont know that

Yes, I do know that. Those are gaming benches, which is what I care about. I'm not after how the chip does in 7Zip. I don't sit and un-zip files for an hour straight.
