Great price/performance
Eight cores for £140
Reduced 95W TDP
Excels in multithreaded apps
Overclocks well
Reduced TDPs over 125W parts
Compatible with existing AM3boards
Uses 30w less than previous version
Enough performance for mainstream users
The editors didn't like
Not Steamroller
Not as efficient as other options
Lowly singlethread performance
Based on old technology
Not as good for gaming as Core i5
Existing FX 8350 and FX 8320 parts are better value
Reduced power comes at a fairly significant performance hit in most applications
Nothing new has been presented
Rapidly hits power limit
Which disables the turbo boost
Hard to achieve the claimed 4.3GHz in regular use
In most cases it tops out at 3.6GHz
Uses Piledriver rather than Steamroller technology
Pulls almost 50% more wattage than equivalent Intel Core

Since the bygone days of the GHz wars, energy efficiency is now a key part in any x86 CPU manufacturer handbook. When designing a CPU, parts can be engineered to either be all-out guns blazing on performance, or it can strike a balance between performance...
Abstract: We all know the woes AMD and their fans have been dealing with over the last few years so we will not be hashing that topic again. We will instead focus on the updated line for what they are, a place holder. They are designed to hold the interest of fans,...
Abstract: AMD is refreshing their FX lineup in the waning days of Summer!Let me explain the situation from my point of view. The FX lineup for AM3+ has not done a whole lot since the initial release of the Piledriver based FX-8350 and family (Vishera). Piledriver w...
Let's wrap things up with one of our famous price vs. performance scatter plots. We used AMD's suggested e-tail prices for the FX series and Newegg prices for the rest. On the performance front, we used geometric mean of results from our full test suite—...

Abstract: It has been more than a year since AMD launched its last major update to the top end FX processor line -- the FX-9590. The company has been quiet in the face of Intel's high-end launches, but today AMD is shipping a new CPU that's aimed at multi-core perf...
Abstract: We review the AMD FX 8370 and 8370E processor today. The CPUs tested today have eight physical CPU cores, the fastest SKU will have a base clock of 4000 MHz, and can Turbo towards 4300. And that makes the FX series a multi-threaded high frequency monster....
about the FX8370 and FX-8370EAlthough you cannot call the new FX-series processors a re-invention, their new sensibly competitive place in the market segment is hard to ignore. AMD did always tout the virtues of upgradeability and these new additions to ...
8 cores under $200, Good Performance, Beats i54670 in most tests
The FX8350 might be a better value, 2 yr old refreshed CPUs
AMD has long controlled the value portion of the sub-$200 processor market. Though the FX series is the latest iteration, the Phenom and Phenom-II processors before it also held down an excellent price to performance ratio, demonstrating the viability...
Abstract: After getting a chance to see what AMD's top tier processors, the FX-9370 and FX-9590 , were capable of delivering performance-wise, it's clear that the top end of the spectrum is the 5GHz plateau when we are talking about Vishera based CPUs. Today, AMD i...
