AMD benchmarks FX-Series Bulldozer Against Intel CPUs

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/17/2011 03:54 AM | source: | 0 comment(s)
Over at this weeks IDF AMD was closeby to the Intel event with a mini press event, one of the more interesting demonstrations is a comparison between an unreleased FX-Series processor and some Intel Core CPUs.

AMD hasn't disclosed the specs of the Bulldozer processor that is used for this comparison, but two different scenarios have been shown to demonstrate the power of its chips.

The first one of these pits an eight-core AMD FX processor against an unspecified Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge CPU, both systems running Handbrake to convert a 5-minute H.264 video in SD resolution.

According to our Dutch colleagues from Hardware Info, the Bulldozer FX processor performs this task with an average of 223 frames per second, where the Core i5 machine gets 188 fps.

Unfortunately the infotrmation regarding both brand processors is too vague to make any real sense. But core i5 is a quad core processor wheras the FX processor used had eight cores.

Both systems will be comparable in price according to AMD, but yeah Bulldozer requires twice the numbers of cores in this massively threaded application tosurpass an Intel Core i5 by just 20% in a multi-threaded benchmark like Handbrake.

The second scenario has the same FX-Series processor fighting against a Core i7 980X in Dirt 3 at a 2560x1600 resolution, both systems featuring two Radeon HD 6790 cards setup in CrossFire.

The Intel machine finishes this benchmark with an average frame rate of 80.9 fps, while the much cheaper AMD desktop averaged 82.8 fps. Here again a comment I want to make, they choose a very GPU limited resolution.

AMD hasn't made any official statements over the launch date of the first FX-Series processors other than saying these will arrive in Q4 of 2011. Well you may expecty a release in half October.
