Part Two* It is time to poke even deeper into AMD?s latest flagship processor, the FX-8150. We covered a lot of ground in Part 1 with our first impressions of the FX-8150 and the pieces that make up the new Scorpius Platform. In Part 2, we are going to see if you can narrow down some of the issue(s) highlighted in our first look, including a closer look at the spotty performance observed in the first piece. We are also going to turn the FX-8150 dial all the way up to eleven to see what kind of potential this new chip has.

AMD Fusion - The Future in APUs
|
|
"AMD’s Fusion technology aims to solve both the need for ultra low power consumption and muscular computing mobile systems. The current IGP-based platforms are just simply not efficient enough to deliver the graphics performance and battery life that modern mobile computing requires. Please read HiTechLegion’s previous articles on Fusion for a more detailed look on this technology. The first two of AMD’s Fusion APUs are designed for the notebook and Netbook markets. “Zacate” is an 18W mainstream APU primarily designed for notebook and all-in-one desktop use. AMD will also have the 9W “Ontario” APU that can deliver HD graphics to netbooks and other small-form factor computing solutions. Ontario is projected to outperform all current netbook’s graphics performance by as much as 10 times."

Intel Core i5 2500K Linux Performance
|
|
"Earlier this month Intel released their first "Sandy Bridge"
processors to much excitement. However, for Linux users seeking to
utilize the next-generation Intel HD graphics found on these new CPUs,
it meant problems. Up to this point we have largely been looking at the
graphics side of Sandy Bridge, and while we have yet to publish any
results there due to some isolated issues, on the CPU side its Linux
experience and performance has been nothing short of incredible. Here
are the first Linux benchmarks of the Intel Core i5 2500K processor."

AMD Athlon II X3 455: Unlocked hidden Phenom
|
|
The Athlon II X3 455 happens to be one of those processors. On the surface, the X3 455 is only a triple core. However, hiding in the shadows is a sleeping core and cache that has the possibility to be accessed. The X3 455 comes with a stock speed of 3.3GHz. There is a max TDP of 95 watts. In continued AMD fashion, the X3 455 is a 100MHz step up from the X3 450. The Athlon II still remains AM2+/AM3 compatible. Stock settings give 1.5MB of L2 cache."
