The editors liked
Definite clock for clock improvement over Bulldozer
Increased clock speeds whilst keeping the same TDP
Competes against the Intel Core i5 3570K in lots of tasks
Good performance for the money
Good stable overclock
Great multi
Treaded performance
Good value for money
The editors didn't like
High power consumption is still an issue
Single threaded performance still needs improvement
Reasonably priced, Appreciable performance improvements with multicore-optimized software, Compatible with older AMD socket and motherboards
Still lags behind in single-core tests, Uses much more power than comparable Intel chips, which also have on-chip graphics
AMD's new-for-2012 octo-core desktop processor shows improved performance with software that takes full advantage of all cores. It's a good option for upgraders with an earlier AMD FX-based system, but single-core performance and power efficiency still f...
then. I'll keep saying this, personally I would have preferred a faster per core performing AMD quad-core processor rather then an eight-core processor with reduced nice per core performance. However we do have to be clear here, we have been working with...
Good Performance, Decent Overclocker, Improved Efficiency, Easy Upgrade For Existing AMD Owners
Dated Platform, Intel CPUs Still Clearly Faster
Even before AMD officially released its Bulldozer-based FX-Series of desktop processors last year, the company was already talking about the follow-on microarchitecture codenamed “Piledriver”. In fact, in the conclusion of our launch article featuring the...
Eight cores and 5GHz on your desktop computer, Officially supports DDR31866 memory, Better performance than Intel on multithreaded tasks, An FX system has 38 usable PCIE lanes as opposed to the 24 lanes of a Sandy Bridge system, Excellent price/performance ratio, finally competitive with Intel in the $200 CPU range,
Single core performance still lags far behind Intel, Few programs use new FX instructions like fused multiplyadd, so the full performance potential remains untapped
Benchmark tests should always be taken with a grain of salt. It's difficult to try and isolate the performance difference a single component in a computer system makes, especially when it's necessary to compare across different manufacturers and platf...
We are big fans of AMD here at OC3D. Not only did we start with AMD CPUs back in the Thunderbird days, but as people who like technology in all forms it's important that all the major manufacturers have healthy competition. Just as the Pentium III was out...

Abstract: About this time last year, AMD's new Bulldozer-based FX series launched to bright-eyed system builders who expected the new architecture to challenge Intel's increasingly comfortable position in the upper-end processor market. Unfortunately, Bulldozer was...
Abstract: Today, AMD is releasing its second-generation of FX CPUs, dubbed “Vishera.” The FX-8350 is currently the highest-end model available, running at 4 GHz and costing USD 195. Let’s see how it fares against its main competitor, the Core i5-3470 (3.2 GHz, U...
This is one of those occasions where AMD has done their job well, but we can’t really celebrate quite yet. The new flagship AMD FX-8350 “Vishera” definitively takes the title of champion amongst AMD processors. The Phenom II 1100T 6-core CPU can’t even...

Piledriver is what Bulldozer should have been in the first place. The FX-8350 puts AMD back on track, but not yet back in the game. If it were not for Intel's exceptional high IPC and performance per watts ratio on Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge, AMD's Vishera/P...

You've probably gathered that the FX-8350 improves on its Bulldozer-based precursor pretty handily for a chip that's neither a die shrink nor an all-new architecture. The final verdict on the FX-8350 isn't terribly difficult to render, but it does have s...
