Good job Phoronix
I do agree that Phoronix did a terrific job to make those benchmarks. People use the new CPU where is strong and where is strong it shine. In fact we don't care as typical users that we will not get 130 FPS when we will get 80, cause the single threaded performance is not that good, but we care when we have to encode a clip and we do hope that anything is scaled right.
Also I think in some way I do think that AMD have to get a good review as Bulldozer is not a bad CPU. It remembers me to K6 times, K6-2 times, when AMD was not a leader but it will trail well, sometimes worked even better if uses architecture specifics (in K6-2 were the 3DNow! instructions).
I do believe that it will be a good competitor for IvyBridge (it is for middle end of performance of Sandy Bridge, which is quite a feat) when will integrate the GPU core. I will consider to buy an AMD CPU at that time (of course if Linux side work nice).
