The Bulldozer Review: AMD FX-8150 Tested
by Anand Lal Shimpi on October 12, 2011 1:27 AM ESTPower Consumption
Performing cross-platform power consumption comparisons is difficult simply because there is a lot of variance between motherboards. Looking at the AMD family alone to start with, the FX-8150's additional power and clock gating really pays off as Bulldozer idles at a significantly lower power level than the Phenom IIs. Sandy Bridge still appears to be a bit cooler.
Under load however, Bulldozer consumes quite a bit of power easily outpacing the Phenom II X6:
I suppose Global's 32nm process in combination with Bulldozer's high frequency targets are to blame here.

Yeah I stopped reading his comment exactly at that word. Disgusting.eh_ch - Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - link
You could try to argue that describing the performance as retarded *might* be syntactically and grammatically correct, but clearly it's meant in the pejorative sense. You could have pointed out the ironic misspelling. But you didn't react at all.Idiots.

Sorry, but 'retarded' has already entered common usage and isn't offensive to anyone not looking explicitly to be offended.'Jewing' however has not, not even close.

I beg to differ. It very much is offensive to anyone who has a friend, family member, or other person they care about with a mental handicap.g101 - Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - link
What do you expect? The majority of these comments come from idiot children that only care about games and completely misunderstand the point of this architecture.Hrel - Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - link
ya'll need to lighten up and take life less seriously. If you're wasting your time being politically correct then you're wasting your time... nuff said.Hrel - Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - link
I disagree, jewing is totally not offensive. My friends call me jewish all the time and I'm not really any religion AND I'm mostly German. It's just joke dude, lighten up.Hrel - Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - link
I like to spell retarted that way better, that's how I say it. I also spell theater theatre and ever since that movie Inglorious Baterds and I spell bastard basterd. I just like it better.Hrel - Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - link
what's disgusting is that you're so racist it offends you. If you truly aren't racist then it doesn't matter. It's just another way of saying being cheap. And as long as you're not a pent up old politically correct fogey it's humorous.
