Well, the first image is a hotlinked image from xbitlabs.com . I'm not sure they really want to pay bandwidth for his threads on 10 different forums.
When the very first image on the thread is the logo for the FX processor, its spamming (not that I could prove that, or he would be banned)
Now speaking as a mod
If the name calling does not stop, I will lock this thread

Seriously Mark? Because of a logo???? That's quite a stretch, and I for one enjoy reading this thread, other than the obvious attempt by the trolls to have it locked for a variety of reasons that are rather obvious. Not understanding why more data points is a spamming offense.
If it were to get locked here, you could just read it on the 9 other boards the same exact thing is posted to.
Stop lying.It's not posted on the other forums I read.
Stop lying.
His propaganda is posted at Semi-Accurate's forums and you read that.
Oh yes you are, "Flippin_Waffles".You stalking me dude? I'm not a member of semiaccurate,
The only site with more propaganda than Semi-Accurate, is AMDZone.and it's interesting reading all the propaganda here instead
I make it my business to expose liars and deceivers.not that it's any of your business.
2) and 3) are true , you cant get a 6 lane PCI E z68 board for ~220$ as with the UD7 990fx. It is generally accepted that for the same price an AMD board will offer more than an intel board.
I do admit that power usage is high for FX, but heat is around the same as with intel offerings, as long as you dont push your cpu above 1.45v. (which is more than enough for a high OC around 4.8 Ghz) I am sitting at 1.42v-1.44v.
I still chuckle when I see the OPs initial graph where the BD @ 4.8 is slower than the 3960 at 3.3 ghz.
2 less cores, and 1.5ghz less clock speed, and still faster! Or save save $500 and get the 3930 at only 100mhz less.
Strange how its only new members defending the OP :sneaky:
New members with the same lousy grasp of English
Lmao, did you even read the OP?
Its full of FX8150 vs gulftown (same lame tactic AMD marketing initally used) and look at how FX8150 does in 7zip! A thinly veiled attempt to mislead people about bulldozer.
FX-8150 costs half of what the 3930k costs, can't really compare the two at all. Cache is completely different as well.
You stalking me dude? I'm not a member of semiaccurate, and it's interesting reading all the propaganda here instead not that it's any of your business.
@polyzp, would be interested in seeing your opinion of multitasking performance as well if you have a chance. Also, if you have access to, how would the smoothness and lag of an intel machine compare to your FX system?
Oh yes you are, "Flippin_Waffles".

I would hardly qualify as a new member,,,,

Well that comment wasn't really aimed at you, its aimed at the "I joined in 2011 just before bulldozer launched" crew.
You seem quite rational despite not seeing that the OP just wants to get blog hits or paint AMD in a good light no matter what.
Its been mentioned numerous times before that enthusiasts or people with an interest in tech don't behave like the OP, they don't spam across multiple tech sites, they don't post misleading benchmarks, they don't constantly try to get you to visit their blog. This right here is what enthusiasts do when they get a new and interesting chip:

Compare carefully and note the massive differences between the OP of that thread (enthusiast) and the OP of this thread (salesperson).
And finally, why do people think that I am purposely trying to compare bulldozer to older intel architecture? That is what I found for comparison, If you can find me a sandy bridge or sandy bridge e comparison with the exact same video card (6990) overclocked, I would be more than glad to post that comparison as well. Instead of trying to help alot of people just attack ><. I am not a bad guy here, I am really doing this for you guys!
This is my first blog, so I have no intentions other than to really get the word out. As hard as that is the believe for some of you it is the truth. I dont have some alternate motive. My blog is an exact copy of what I post on this foum. If all I wanted was blog hits I wouldnt post the stories here, I would post maybe a third and say "the rest is on my blog". I want to stress that I am not making a single dollar off all this, In fact I spent a dollar to join xtremeforums so I could spread the word because I had someone ask me to join the community there and show my results! I dont understand why it is such a terrible thing to post my hard work on more than one forum.
And enough about bulldozer being "too good" to compare to the 980x or 990x.. I thought you guys were saying how crap it is.. So why not compare to the 990x? Thats just a double standard.
And to all those claiming all I did was benchmark Dirt 3, and 7 Zip and came to the final conclusion how awesome Bulldozer is from those two becnhmarks alone simply has not even read through my review. Never have I come to such an ultimate conclusion about Bulldozer yet, but more than likely I will be doing a full Conclusion post when I am done all my testing (Which is about half done). Just because FX does well in 7zip doesnt mean it will do well in absolutely everything. I just state that in each specific benchmark how it fairs, and thats it, there is nothing more to it! I dont understand why people keep thinking there is..
In the end, every CPU has its strengths and weaknesses.
AVP revisited with patch later up today!! stay Tuned!
And to everyone else, first of all, how is me posting my review on multiple community sites spamming? I am simply trying to get a wider opinion.

I just find it funny how people accuse me of working for AMD or being a salesman of some sort :S. I have a feeling if I benchmarked an intel CPU and did the same thing I wouldn't get so much flack...

Hah too good to compare to gulftown? Thats sarcasm right? Comparing the older gulftown/nehalem bulldozer gets smoked again (no surprises there really).
