Controll of core multis for BD/Thuban/Phenom

Not sure what this does (dont have a BD) but AOD let you control individual core multis too...

Not familiar with ubu but unless I'm reading it wrong, seems like its performance is on par with intel.

You're not reading it wrong. It would seem that the Windows OS has a detrimental effect on BD. Thanks for doing this BZ. It's an eye opener.

I wouldn't call it on par tbh.
But it ain't that bad as some people make it look ( the FX-4100 vs Thuban x4 is a different story, it's scary, very scary ).

I have the numbers from the 2600K with the RAM @ DDR3-1866 9-9-9-24 for a direct and fair comparison, but I haven't gotten around to create the charts yet.

If the FX-8150 find its way to 170$ then I'd say that it would sell a lot.
As long as it remains pricier than the 2500K I won't recommend it, unless forced to :p

It barely copes with the 2500K except in a few apps, running a 100 apps test suite, it would win around 20 apps, tie the 2500K in 30 apps, and lose the rest lagging behind from just a bit, to a lot.

Hey BZ what version of Cinebench is that? Never saw some of the things listed in that screenshot (single core etc) is that a settings tweak?

It's the normal version, available from Maxon's website.
You just need to go to the "File" menu and tick the "Advanced" option and you'll get all the available settings & options ;)

Somebody snag a copy of that AMD Overdrive *special edition and upload to our server yet?

I'll get the "internal" tools upped as soon as possible.

I Dled the PSCHECK available over at XS, just in case it went missing. I dont have FTP info though so if it is still available over there (linked it up a few posts) could you up that to the FTP as well?

Of course ;)
