New Processing CHIP for extreme gaming

[Valmonte]

AMD's bulldog architecture does not play nice with Windows 7(do to it not being able to properly initiate multi-threading). That being said AMD does promise it is properly optimized for Windows 8. If they can optimize it for Windows 8 then I would say AMD could be a good buy for the buck.

there's nothing wrong with the bulldozers, save for the fact that there more of a Budget Server Processor than an actual Desktop Processor. Ive compared both the FX 4100 and the Phenom 2 x4 965 and found that the FX processors performed better for data crunching but flopped at actual raw data throughput. while the phenom was notably weaker at data crunching it blew the FX-4100 out of the water at raw data throughput.

As a side note the FX series do not multi thread in the same traditional matter as one might expect, its more along the lines of Data Sharing between two cores to get things done faster....kinda like SLI or Crossfire. the FX Line CPU's are interesting in the fact that 2 cores are one thread, its also easy to confuse as one thinks of 4 cores being 4 threads this is not the case with the FX series as the proper Core to thread ratio is 2:1
