The AMD FX-8150 is the earliest eight core variant in AMD's flagship FX series. The FX-8150 was released in October 2011 and at that time it superseded the Phenom 1100T. Comparing the 1100T and FX-8150 shows that the newer FX-8150 has roughly the same single and dual core speed but, thanks to its extra two cores, pulled ahead of its predecessor by 15% in multi-core tests. The performance improvements over the 1100T are accompanied by an improved manufacturing process which reduced lithography from 45 to 32 nanometres; consequently both processors have the same maximum TDP of 125 Watts. Thanks to its eight cores the FX-8150 has strong multi-core performance but its single-core core speeds are still relatively weak compared to similarly priced Intel chips. [Mar '14CPUPro]
The Intel's specially binned i9-9900K, featuring 5GHz all core boost and base clock of 4GHz. This CPU is one of the most powerful Intel CPU in term of day-to-day and gaming performance but with TDP of 127W, bulky air cooler or 240mm AIO is recommended to make sure the CPU doesn't overheat, and open loop liquid cooling if you want to OC.
