I'm not sure why though? I mean, it's a given that the 8 threads of the 8150, in some instances, will beat out the four threads of the 2500k.

But the 2500K costs less than the 8150, and in gaming, the actual number of titles that benefit from the extra threads are few and far between.

the FX chips aren't bad..they are just badly priced in order to compete. When most people are concerned about cost, that completely kills the FX's chance of success on a wide scale. That doesn't mean it's a failure...it's just not going to be the popular choice.

A few benchmarks isn't going to change that.
