Well, it's finally out and bench marked. On the surface it appears to be fail cakes. However, some of the benchmarks are inconsistent. The i7 2600's and the high end i5's show to beat it in some game benchmarks, but when the res cranks it turns the other way. Also, I'm interested in it for rendering/raytracing. Initial tests show the 8 core BD to murder the high end i7's in rendering. Anyone have some benches to support this?

Some of these benchmarks are poor (like anandtech uses) they usually use a 3 year old 3d studio (3dsm9) which is not optimized for multi-core, and they are not using vray. I want to see 3dsmax11/12 tests - which is where I'm hearing it has big gains."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Another con, is I feel it uses too much damn power for less performance for the mainstream crowd.

Here's another bench to support what you said.
although still not faster than my proc.. I want to upgrade my dad's box to sandy bridge but I think it'll be cheaper to go this route. I just want them to release some OEM procs without the heatsink since his box is already w/c'd.

Well there are issues with the way windows 7 scheduler and I think over time we may see some more improvements with BD but as of right now not so much. Even AMD suggests to change affinity to achieve best results.
yeah when you post the thread, shoot me a link.

Originally posted by roliath View PostSome people are reporting better performance by killing 4 of the cores (1/3/5/7) this was suggested by AMD as well. Or physically changing the affinity in multithreaded programs to use the 0/2/4/6 cores.Your passage to Enlightenment will come from the end of my barrel.

And I never said I bought one, nor am I going to; efficiency is too low for my taste. Power consumption is the biggest reason along with price/performance and I rather go with Sandy or 980X / 5650.
