CPU tests

Let's start now with all the tests that put stress on the processor, which we remind you to be an AMD FX-8150 with well 8 cores and Bulldozer architecture. This allows the OS to take advantage of 8 threads simultaneously.

The tests are performed with both the CPU at default and both setting a fixed frequency for all cores of 4 GHz, in this last case it is possible to evaluate more precisely the IPC of the various CPU and see who has at the same frequency an architecture capable of generating higher performance than the other.

As can be inferred from the graph above, without a doubt the processing power of AMD is more than adequate to that of competitors. In fact, it performs just under the Intel i7-2600K, but at the same time you can see how it is not far from Intel CPUs without Hyper-Threading Technology.

Instead, setting a fixed frequency of 4 GHz, it is clear as the CPU loses further ground against other Intel CPUs, in this case the total score is under the i5-2500K Sandy Bridge CPU.
