Thor. Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) For Christmas i bought one of the fastest bulldozer cpu in the market, at least when it comes to amd. So what do you think of this badass cpu. At least i haven't seen a Intel chip that fast yet?? http://www.tigerdire...4561&CatId=7339 Wrapped up under the tree lol Edited November 13, 2012 by Thor.

Korodic Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I read some interesting points made in a newegg review pointing out how this processor is on-par with an i7. Going to see if I can find it... Whelp didnt find the post explaining it, however there is this review:http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fx-8350-vishera-review,3328-10.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) I believe the review state the fact that amd is back and with it http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif' http://www.newegg.ca...N82E16819113284 Edited November 13, 2012 by Thor.

Korodic Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm not saying they aren't. it's pretty good competition at a cheaper price tag. The major draw back is the wattage, if that matter to you. Also that kind of wattage runs up a bit more heat I'd imagine, I know my phenom II did. If only AMD could do virtual cores like intel, and combine it with their current line, you' be looking at 16 cores! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Its the same wattage as my 1100T and it doesn't get any hotter then that, even overclocked to 3.8ghz. Of course that's where a good heatsink fits in. I can't wait till Christmas woo, I'm going to have one fast machine when its all built and ready. maybe when Farcry 3 comes out might brake some records http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif Edited November 13, 2012 by Thor.

hoofhearted4 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 idk, im not impressed. VS the previous AMD Bulldozer line, its an improvement. but VS Intel, it still falls short all in all. if you have an old AMD chip or even a Bulldozer chip, i could see upgrading, if you already have Intel or are debating between the two, Intel is still the way to go.

Thor. Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Sounds like another fan boy comment on the newegg site lol. You gotta give it credit, its not whose faster, its the price. Also the competition is good for innovation, i would hate to see Intel be the only chip maker, it would stall the development all together. Edited November 13, 2012 by Thor.

hoofhearted4 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Sounds like another fan boy comment on the newegg site lol.not what i say, its what the several reviews ive read say. i cant be a fanboy if ive never owned either. well thats not true. my first laptop was AMD, my current laptop is Intel. and my desktop is Intel which i just built today. but yea, i have no true history to be a fanboy to either of them. You gotta give it credit, its not whose faster, its the price.they are the exact same price. both are $220. Also the competition is good for innovation, i would hate to see Intel be the only chip maker, it would stall the development all together.well if AMD wants to compete they have to do better. they arent giving much reason for new builders to choose them over Intel. except for some really low budget builds, where their FM series does very well.

Korodic Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 maybe when Farcry 3 comes out might brake some records I wish I could show you my far cry 2 maps... Does anyone here have far cry 2 for the xbox 360? Do me a favor and download some of my maps and take screen shots :D I miss my maps. If you download them... you'll see why. XBL Gamertag: "lXI JD lXI" My maps: Neighborhood Watch - A map where there is a street leading up to a couldesac. Each house can be entered, multiple ways t o get around the map. Hollow Point Heist - A bank robbery scenerio where you spawn with the opposite teams diamonds. Cops vs robbers style, ops spawn in swat van, and by blockades, robbers spawn in the bank and get-away truck. Takes place in a commercially zoned square. You will find a bank movie theater, bar, motel, etc. Booby Trap - A strip club with strippers! SWAT vans outside, it's a raid! Fight among the strip club while taking in the various scenes I created. You know whenever I played the Booby Trap map online I always found someone teabagging the strippers, and they would just look at me when I walk in the room. Not even shooting me, they just look back down and keep going. Then I'd leave like nothing happened.

Thor. Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 I only have far cry 2 for pc, and i haven't touched it for a year or so. Maybe because the graphics i expected more from the cryengine, anyways back to the subject. you can't argue with a fanboy, so this conversation is over.
