Apparently, AMD processors are a series of FX (codenamed - Bulldozer) may represent a threat to Intel. According to a preliminary test, published in Donanimhaber.com end of last week, the engineering design model FX-8310P has managed to circumvent the Core i7-2600K in a number of tests, although he conceded brainchild of Intel in SuperPi.
According to Turkish experts, Bulldozer passed the test on the coding of video streams (x264) with the results of 136 and 45fps (frames per second) in the first and second passages, and the Core i7-2600K - 100 and 36fps. This latest AMD processor also managed to get ahead of Core i7-2600K in 3DMark 11 (6250 points against 6000 points). By the way, he also showed better results than the Core i7-2600K in Cinebench R10, but apparently lost Core i7-990X. According Donanim Haber, Bulldozer about 50 percent more powerful than the Phenom II X6 1100T.
It is worth noting that Bulldozer has not yet formally presented, but AMD has made it clear that these processors will be positioned in a segment of hi-end. As for the Core i7-2600K, is currently the most powerful processor for desktop systems in the lineup from Intel, but it is positioned in a segment of a system to improve performance. As the data from Donanim Haber, Buldozer still inferior to Core i7-990X, although the latter will soon be replaced by the latest Intel microarchitecture Sandy Bridge-E. It is expected that they will be much more powerful Core i7-990X. However, this is the first alarm for Intel. In other words, do not rest on our laurels and underestimate AMD, the more so because its processors have very attractive price / performance ratio.
It only remains to add that in this case we are talking about pre-testing and engineering sample Bulldozer, so too early to draw any conclusions.
