A clock-to-clock comparison of AMD's Upcoming Bulldozer FX-8150 versus the Phenom II X6 1100T Processors has been posted over at OBR Blog. The Zambezi and Phenom based processors were overclocked to 4.2Ghz for a fair benchmarking session since both come at Different Stock frequencies.

The FX-8150 as we've been detailing in our earlier posts is an Eight Core Bulldozer CPU with 3.6Ghz Stock and 4.2Ghz Turbo Frequency coupled with an 8Mb L3 Cache. The CPU is also beenavailablefor pre-orders on online stores for 266.26$ as reported here. The Bulldozer CPU used here falls under the B2 revision which fixes the performance bug noticed in the earlier revisions.

Both Processors were tested on the Gigabyte's GA-990FX-UD7 Motherboard, AM3+ Socket also supports backwardscompatibilitywith current Phenom CPU's, 4GB DDR3 @ 1860Mhz, Geforce GTX580 GPU and Win 7 x64 bit OS. Following are the results:

The benchmark shows that while Bulldozer FX-8150 is faster then Phenom at Stock Clock Speeds, The Performance Per Core is around 20% Slower when it was compared in Single Threaded Benchmarks. While in the MultiThreaded applications such as games, Bulldozer shines!

The FX-8150 also broke aGuinnessWorld Record a few days ago by breaking the 8Ghz (8.429Ghz) Frequency Record. Details on that here.
