AMD Shows Off A10-5800K and FX-8350 Near IDF

You guys aren't going to resolve the # of pipe stages unless someone spells out what each stage does or what opcode it references. 14-18 vs 15, it's all in the same ballpark. It's not like 10 vs 24 or something.

They need quite a sizeable (10%+) performance gain with PD to remain competitive. I want AMD to be good, but I cannot justify getting a new CPU every year or so and still being behind Intel's curve. I can buy an Intel CPU like the Q6600 (which I did) and have it for 3 years (which I did) and it was still running fine, then upgrade to a new Intel CPU like the i5-2500k (did that too) and I guarantee it will be good for another 2 years at least. In that same time frame I would have had to upgrade my AMD CPU like 3 times and would still be behind in performance (would have had to go Phenom I->Phenom II->FX and probably gotten new motherboards). I'll take 2 purchases over 5-6.

Then you should complain to software devs and AMD about support in windows apps. Guess who's taking all the cash to provide intel only optimized code and using their compiler only (which is a cheater)?

Linux users have no problems with AMD's performance. It's fast. Software is the problem, not hardware (although there's plenty of limitations in BD).

Fully agree, Software is the major issue. And how to resolve this?

 

[Aquinus]

I think the real key is that just because AMD doesn't run as fast as Intel doesn't mean AMD processors are slow.

probly because it won't pass a 3DMark11 run =/
so it runs at 5Ghz and still gets beat by a core i3 running at 3.5
AMD is Disappoint
perhaps they will learn and throw bulldozer in the trash and hire some fresh talent and start over sad to see AMD like this
they need to realise that clock speed is no longer relevant

I might be new here
But guess what? AMD Had to rush bulldozer and the sudden leaving of the engineers ruined bulldozer
And so off they have gone and in with the professionals ... i am smelling a good day ahead
OH, i don't know what you mean by i3 beat THE i3 is only good at single thread for sure.
The FX-8150 is the same price as a i5-2500k and the FX does things better.
Of course. Vishera. Forget about the BD crap and move on

this is old news, why are you even bringing it up
