AMD FX Versus Intel Core i7-2600K: First Tests

The AMD FX lineup will feature quad, hexa and octacore processors based on the AMD Bulldozer architecture. The source obtained tests results of the octacore model working together with Radeon HD 6670.



Judging by the image, such a combination leaves Intel Core i7-2600K with integrated graphics far behind. The compared systems may be priced similarly, so you can guess how much an octacore AMD FX processor will cost, knowing the prices of Intel Core i7-2600K and AMD Radeon HD 6670.



In Futuremark PCMark Vantage AMD FX goes on a par with Intel Core i7-2600K. In 3DMark Vantage P AMD wins thanks to the higher performance of Radeon HD 6670.

It's interesting that AMD FX + Radeon HD 6670 only slightly outperforms Phenom II X6 1100T + the same graphics card.

Other results are related to AMD A-series APUs. Judging by the graph, AMD focuses on combined performance of CPU and GPU. The price/performance ratio (as opposed to absolute performance) will probably be another strong point of new processors.
