Abstract: As you may know, a while back, we came to some difficult realizations about the validity of our methods for testing PC gaming performance. In my article Inside the second: A new look at game benchmarking, we explained why the widely used frames-per-second...
The new Core i7-3770K is a no-brainer if you were considering buying the Core i7-2600K; it costs the same and is faster.It is, however, very important to understand that this processor is targeted to users who will really benefit from additional proces...
Abstract: While Himeno between K8 and bdver1 yields a net performance improvement, when targeting k8-sse3/btver1/barcelona the performance was actually even better than when bdver1 was used. Lastly, with C-Ray there is a small performance improvement in moving...
Modular and versatile architecture, Great performance in multithreaded applications, Great overclocking potential
General performance below expectations, and rival products, High power consumption under load, compared to Intel's chips, Not the best choice for hardcore gamers
AMD Bulldozer is with us for months now, more than enough time has passed for the product to set into its market slot. Bulldozer and AMD did not live up to expectations, nor did they deliver a competitive desktop product which they very much need right...
Abstract: This time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important pro...
New processor architectures don’t come round all that often and there was a great deal of excitement in anticipation of Bulldozer. Breaking with the traditional vision of cores, its CMT architecture was indeed promising on paper but its integration wit...
Performance in highly threaded programs, Overclocking
Single core performance
This is the first time we've had the chance to put the new architecture to test and unfortunately it turned out to be a bit of a let-down. In multi-threaded applications the performance is good, and the chip does overclock very nicely, but for average...
Abstract: While Turbo Core did not help the Unigine Tropics frame-rate, the CPU was left running much warmer. In addition, the overall system power consumption was up. In this brief look at Cool 'n' Quiet and Turbo Core 2.0 for AMD's latest-generation Bulldoze...
Abstract: GCC 4.6 and 4.7 had regressed with GraphicsMagick when setting the first-generation Bulldozer optimizations while the Open64 performance was not affected. However, when enabling the highest optimization level with bdver1, the regression was erased. ...
While we don't want to give the impression that the i7-3930K is a slow CPU for consumer applications and games, it isn't significantly faster than the Core i7-2600K. This is a problem for Intel, as the i7-3930K is almost exactly double the price; LGA20...
