What a lot of users are keen to find out, is if the FX-8150 can rival the i5 2500k in terms of gaming and with more users incorporating an AMD Eyefinity triple monitor configuration, AMD have shown the benefit of the FX-8150 over the 2500k in some of the top titles for this year.
One of the biggest titles to drop this year is going to be Battlefield 3 and with lots of consumers eagerly awaiting the confirmed specifications, it’s key to see how the AMD FX-8150 compares against the rival i5 2500k as well as the predecessor; Phenom II X6 1100t.
Having more cores also means extra performance on multithreaded applications and having a clear comparison of the AMD FX, Intel Core i5 2500k and i7 2600k allows us to see where certain processors excel better than others.
A lot of the way that the AMD FX CPU’s perform is down to the layout, which for the technical minded, we have included the CPU layout that clearly shows how the cores and cache are arranged.
Overclocking is another key point to this processor and with a Guiness World Record of the world’s first and only CPU to reach 8.4GHz on August 31st 2011, it’s definitely not something to be laughed at, but we’ll see how far it can be pushed under normal conditions as we’re sure that not everyone has LN2 capabilities or wants to dabble with sub-zero temperatures. AMD obviously are keen to offer the fastest graphics card and processor on the market and currently, they do.
