Bulldozer, Gulftown, Sandy Bridge Scaling Seeing how well the AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 scales under Linux when controlling the core count from the BIOS/UEFI of the ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard. Using Linux 3.1 kernel and multi-threaded tests. To be compared to other Intel CPUs (Gulftown and Sandy Bridge) for a future article on Phoronix.com.
