Piledriver writ large. AMD FX-8350 reviewed

Vishera is exactly what AMD promised it would be: a 10-15% performance increase over the previous generation by almost every measure (except the all-important price!). It's better than Bulldozer in every way, and it's cheaper. The price is really what makes Vishera compelling.

AMD FX-8350 review

When AMD was throwing around the specs of its first bulldozer chips we all sat up and took notice. After all, it was AMD's first new CPU technology redesign for an absolute age, and what it was planning on doing with the new bulldozer microarchitecture looked pretty darned revolutionary.
