Do Not Pay Attention to Synthetic Numbers

AMD FX-8120 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.1 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8120FRGUBOX
AMD FX-8120 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.1 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8120FRGUBOX

Pros: FAST in real world applications. Everyone wants to show off synthetic benchmarks to say this is not a great CPU in comparison to Intel. In REAL WORLD crunching in ConvertXtoDVD I went from 44 min to encode and burn to 11 min. Completely tops Intel as usual in the Price/Performance catagory

Cons: Everyone complains that the fan is loud but if you know half what you're doing when making an overclocked rig then yes you will need an aftermarket cooler. DUH!!!

Overall Review: Once again you cannot touch AMD in the price and performance catagory especially when you factor in motherboard price. Totally trumps Intel's offerings.
