Detailed review here

4 different processors will
battle each other in
various tests. All
processors will be clocked
at the same speed of 4
GHz - this means that the
benchmark is not about
CPU vs CPU, but rather
architecture vs
architecture.
Representing Sandy
Bridge - Core i7 3820
Representing Nehalem -
Xeon W3520 (Core i7
920)
Representing Bulldozer -
FX6200
Representing Piledriver -
FX6300

Hey, i didn't do that good work. It is some other guy. Really, he did a brilliant comparison.
Yeah i asked him in guru3d forum to add more cpu models and more applications like 3dmark11 physics score.
And from the comparison, piledriver for their respective price tag, not bad atall!

Why use FX6200 and FX6300 when 8150 and 8350 are more comparable ? Or am I missing some point here.

None of them are even in the same price range.

^most probably.
Again it is not hardware-site review.
He had those three models available for him.
