There are two here, i pulled them both from another forum.

One shows AMD as the best choice and the other shows Intel performing better, all be it only just with both.

Also, why is the FX-8150: 3.6Ghz identical to the FX-6120: 3.6Ghz when one is 8 core and the other 6 core?

The reason they'd be relatively the same is because BF3 can't take advantage of the extra cores / threads offered in the 8 core chip.

Yeah, and thats what i thought. It answers my question about the Frostbite 2 engine being able to handle 16 threads, i think that's bogus.

But its still interesting to see how Phenom's and FX CPU's compare with the established Intel offerings when more threads are actually being used.

I think with BF3 there is no question of whats better value.

might have something to do with Floating point units, the 8150 shares 4 across 4 modules 8 threads..

I cant seem to find how many FPU's the 6100 has.. but if it follows suit it will be 3 modules/6 thread 3 Floating point units. perhaps at slightly slower clock speeds the FPU's can handle the data better than with higher clocks of the 8150 sharing 4 FPU's ( just me guessing)

hopefully someone will chime in and correct me or give a better explaination.

yeah, instead of one core for one module one cache, each module has two cores and a shared L2 / L3 cache, 4 x 2 = 8

Logic would dictate the FX-6 would be 3 x 2 = 6

P-II x6: is 6 x 1 = 6

The FX-6 and FX-8 are almost exactly 50% more then the dual core BD 3.6Ghz. BF3 = three threads?
