AMD FX-8150: Bulldozer on the bench table

In this article we'll show you a detailed analysis of the performance of the AMD FX-8150, top of the range of proposals based on the new Bulldozer architecture. The tests provide a full suite of tests in which the CPU will be compared to other proposals of the market, either by default or at different frequencies. We will also consider the impact of memory on performance, and the consumption as a function of voltage.

Euler 3D

It is a software that can handle real numbers, complex numbers, intervals, matrices and arrays. Track 2D/3D diagrams and includes a modern programming language. All versions of Euler are freeware with GNU. EULER is very similar to Matlab, but the author points out that this is not a clone. Euler 3D is used for analysis of fluid dynamics, with a freely available integrated benchmarking mode that uses all available cores and threads of the processor.

Result is not too exciting in this benchmark: in this case the architecture is definitely not very exploited and the overall score expressed in Hertz is even under an Intel i7-860 with the old Lynnfield architecture.

This situation does not change compared to the previous case with the CPU at default.
