This will certainly give the i7 a run for it's money ...Will be nice to see that running with the NGX.. The fastest one will be the 8 core BE @3.6ghz

We've discussed this extensively. Hardware forums and here. It won't give SB or the 1st gen i7s a run for their money in FSX and most other programs... Not in the least. Read the reviews. More cores doesn't necessarily mean more performance, and AMD hasn't achieved more IPC than Intel's 10 month old processor.

Do you know i have noticed that you really like jumping on people for certain posts and to be honest all i was doing was sharing my find.So in the future just be abit more reasonable

I didn't realize I was jumping on you...? The point is you said it'd "give an i7 a run for it's money". I don't think people who are unaware of the truth should be mislead. Yourself included. *backs away carefully*

If you're able to fly the NGX with an average of 27-30 FPS, smoothly without stutters and high settings on FSX, with ASE and REX on the background, without CTD's, what else do you need. Anyway, I'll buy my 32-core @ 16,4ghz system in 2016 and fly the PMDG 737 MAX8 at 589FPS :-)

Heck. I have a hard time doing that with this system!

LOL me too :-) I achieve this by flying in africa and siberia! Just google an airport where nobody wants to fly to, and frames go up!

Yeah thats right. Having 27-30 fps and no stutter must be a heaven. I have constant these microstutters on approach and landing properly because the GPU from my HD5870 is been put over the edge. /Michael

I'm willing to bet I'd get better fSX performance with two fast cores vs. 8 slower ones. I don't think FS can utilize that much power.

FSX has an ancient engine hence there will be no much difference. Games uses GPU power while FSX uses CPU's one and it uses basically the very first core in a definitely non optimized and ancient way.

I do not run any software taking advantage or better performance with 8 cores and surely FSX doesn't also.

I was a long time user of AMD cpus, right up to the 955 quad, which ran FSX appallingly.Suitably disgusted, I did another build with an i7 920, and the difference was night and day.Still running the 920 two-odd years later, and wouldn't put FSX anywhere near an AMD system, four, eight or 128 cores...

Size makes very little difference ( > 2 Cores), Its all about SPEED, and in the case of FSX, the faster the better.

i have a six core at 4.3ghz and i found it to be noticeably smoother than my pervious 4 core i7, regardless of what benchmarks are out there, u just need the proper affinitymask settings

Just for the record and I saw it in person as well. Whenever the Sandy Bridge came out originally there was an issue with the Sata on the motherboards. At the time my buddy had been leaning towards getting a Sandy Bridge, but because of the Sata Issue he went with an AMD 6 Core over-clocked. I wouldn't give AMD such a bad Rap because he was getting about 150 fps in the air and bursting to 200. On the ground he was getting 40s to low 50s. Of course this was not with the NGX cause he does not have it but he was using the PMDG MD-11. However in the Air on a Q6600 at 3.0 ghz I can only get about 40s in the air, bursting to 60, and 17-22 on the ground. So a 6 core AMD bursting to 200 in the air and 40-50s on the ground is a long way from what I got.
