hehe frenchy my point it aint as slow as the reviews would lead us belive.
Your point is an interesting one. Indeed lets remember that most the game performance benchmarks were based on older games where the only bottleneck occuring is CPU limitation, this of course reflects badly, perhaps unfairly on the FX architecture. When you look at the more modern games of course there are couple of frames here and there but generally the FX CPU performs up there with the 2600K and 2500K. In fact even the 1100T and the X4 980 perform competitively because the bottleneck here is created by the GPU. Also let us remember that many of the games where a CPU bottleneck occurs are already above 60fps on average even on the FX, so does it really matter at all. I mean +35FPS is safe.
Secondly again lets remember this may well be a perfect server architecture. Multiple cores ready to be fully or half scaled, this is what server software loves and does best.
Finally to address the statement, I have no real problem with the speed of the CPU due to the above reasons however it is the price that effectively forces my hand towards the 2500K. At present much of the software that is needed to run the FX-8150 close to the 2600K does not exist and it just about competes with the 2500K despite being nearly £40-50 more expensive. The FX-8120 is much more competitive and is perhaps even for me worth a look, just buy it and over-clock it, I don't see any reason anyone would buy the 8150, just scale the 8120's frequency up.
