Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD FX-8150, a processor with the Bulldozer architecture, once entered the stage. It was manufactured using the 32nm process. For its time, this chip offered a considerable number of eight processing cores. We saw how this well supported multitasking tasks. The processor was an attractive choice for users who needed many cores.

Its 8 MB Level 3 cache was also a significant advantage at the time. They helped to quickly provide frequently used data. Although the AMD FX-8150 can no longer keep up with current technology, it was important. It enabled the construction of systems with solid multicore performance. The maximum memory bandwidth of 30 GB/s contributed to smooth operation.

This was solid for its positioning at the time. This processor showed that AMD wanted to serve the market with a high number of cores. It offered a good basis for everyday applications and more. It was an interesting time for PC hardware.
  • Eight processing cores
  • 8 MB Level 3 cache
  • Solid multitasking capability
  • Manufactured using the 32nm process
