If it was 20 watts or 50 watts i wouldn't either but when its 319 watts between a 5Ghz 3570K and a 4.8Ghz 8150 you just have to say WTF

I honestly don't care about Power Consumption. Just my 2 cents
470s use less than 220w at stock, that's less than 440w in
Don't your SLI 470s use about 600W or more at full load? Nobody else sees the irony?
Are you really trying to justify the power consumption of BD by comparing it to SLI'd video cards?
Nope, I'm not.
Are you unaware of what you have in your own sig?
Are you not aware of the difference between SLI, TRI SLI, and QUAD SLI?
You said SLI, yet meant TRI SLI, and then had the audacity to act as if I was mistaken.
I figured where i said "your" made it painstakingly obvious I was talking about "your" setup. Are you now trying to argue that you don't have an SLI setup, since Tri SLI and SLI are two different things?
I guess we need to start being pedantic, I could say "bulldozer" has much lower power consumption than you claim, since "bulldozer" includes the FX-4100.
Lets get real. You knew I was talking about your setup and instead of admitting you were wrong you tried to fudge the figures by using the power usage of only 2 video cards.
Put Balla, Chiropteran, and Axel in a room. Who will come out alive?
I thought it was ironic that you would comment on the OC'd bulldozer's power usage like 568W was something crazy when your own setup probably uses double that at load.
That is, it's an ironic statement when you make it sound like 500W is a tremendous amount of power, when reality is that it's far less than your system's power consumption.

It's not ironic at all.
I didn't say whew 568w is a lot, I said whew, 568w while being slower than a 244w processor, whew still slower than a cheaper 311w processor - that's garbage.
Honestly I can't really take you seriously anymore, gl.
Sorry, it's the dictonary definition of ironic. Making something sound like the opposite of what it is. Your post implied that the 580W power draw was some incredible amount, when the reality is it's far less than your usual power consumption with the rig in your sig.
Like it or not, that is irony.

bulldozer still sucks --> power draw --> SLI --> 470 hogs power --> the meaning of irony
This thread fails
i wanna see the 8150 ran as a 4m/4t at max oc (maybe it clocks higher than 4.8/4.9) vs a phenom x4 at max oc. maybe someone else could provide the phenom benches to compare...
I wanna see you do something interesting for a change, do this with the overclocked 8150 then report back:

If all goes well try this:

There are so few direct impact benchmarks floating around i an very interested to see how an overclocked 8150 fares in such a test.
