3D Mark 11
Finally the bleeding stops and everything scores around the same in the latest of Futuremarks 3D Mark suites. Although it's worth noting that the non-HT, quad core 2.8GHz Intel i5-2300 and AMD X6 1095T aren't far behind the 4.7 GHz Octocore FX8150.
3D Mark Vantage
Moving back a generation to 3D Mark Vantage, the situation actually deteriorates for the AMD Flagship. Instead of trading punches with the rest of the setups on test, the little i5-2300 and X6 1095T both outscore the FX8150.

I was secretly hoping AMD could pull it out and get one over intel. Shame. This is like watching the pentium 4 all over again. On paper faster, but in reality slower and much hotter running. Oh well, Sandy Bridge E for me

QuoteI didn't think it would be good, considering the 125W TDP instead of 140W and the low asking price of $250. SB-E all the way. I'm glad I didn't invest much into an AM3+ board (I got an AM3 board). Hopefully, we'll see some competition between the 8150 and the i5-2500K, price wise (may go 1155, IDK).Quote
