The Turkish website Donanimhaber has an engineering sample of an AMD Bulldozer-octacore know to benchmark. The sample had a clock speed of 3.2 GHz and along with 4GB ddr3 memory and a GTX580 video card tested.

Donanimhaber poked the parts on a Gigabyte 990FX-UD5 motherboard, and subjecting them to some benchmarks. The eight headed engineering sample had a clock speed of 3.2 GHz.

In 3DMark 11 did the Bulldozer-cpu in combination with the GTX580 a score of 6265 points to put down, similar to a Core i7 2600 Intel, which has a clock speed of 3.4 GHz.

In PCMark 7, an overall score of 3045 points listed, with 4310 points in the cpu-intensive Computation-subcomponent. This was the sample in that specific subtest something faster than an Intel 2500K at 3.3 GHz.

The cpu clears the SuperPi benchmark, in which the number pi as fast as possible, up to a million numbers after the decimal point is calculated, in 19,5 seconds to go through. Recent Intel cpus have, for a comparable clock speed, about half of the time.

Cpu-z indicates that the processor has a tdp of 186W, but probably true that value is not. According to AMD, the new chips have a maximum tdp of 125W.

Because it is an engineering sample, may have few conclusions to be drawn from the scores. In the third quarter of this year, as AMD are new, on the Bulldozer architecture-based cpu line introduces, is not really clear how the new chips stand out against the offerings from Intel.
