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.

AMD Vishera FX-8350
When Bulldozer was released a year ago, it had a problem that was almost bigger than the single threaded performance and that was broken expectations. After five or so years of delays and hearing about the forthcoming new architecture from AMD, reviewers everywhere put the likes of SuperPi to it and...
Pros:
- Increased per thread performance
- Higher base frequency at same TDP
- Higher overclocking
- Eight cores
- More performance/lower price
- Increased multi threaded performance
Cons:
- Single threaded performance still not on par with competition

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 Unlocked "Vishera" Octal Core CPU Review
During the 15th century, a major part of the world's economic growth came from cross-continent merchant shipping. It was an arduous journey fraught with uncertainty and it took a lot of planning, as well as preparation, before the captain even set foot on the docks before the ship could sail.
Pros:
- Excellent Price
- Improved "Piledriver" Cores
- AMD Turbo Core 3.0
- Improved latencies compared to FX-8150
- 4GHz out of the box (4.2GHz with Turbo Core
- Unlocked
- 5+GHz Overclockable
Cons:
- Power consumption and temperatures have been improved but still high

AMD Vishera FX8350 Piledriver Review
We think it's fair to say that the Bulldozer FX8150 was one of the biggest disappointments we've experienced here at OC3D. Most of us cut our teeth on AMD processors, and we had high hopes that the 8 core behemoth would finally bring AMD back in line with Intel.

AMD Vishera - FX 8350 Performance Review
Introduction AMD is adopting a yearly(ish) cadence for product cycle refreshes, and as such we now have a new line of AMD FX processors. The new processors are codenamed Vishera and feature four Piledriver architecture modules; no graphics cores found here - this is a CPU, not an APU.

AMD FX-8350
AMD realised some time ago that the decade-old Athlon CPU architecture was drawing to an inevitable close. Understanding that application workloads for servers, home computers and notebooks have naturally changed over time, it brought out the Bulldozer core about a year ago.

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 fall behind Intel's competing Core i5 chips.
Pros:
- Reasonably priced
- Appreciable performance improvements with multicore-optimized software
- Compatible with older AMD socket and motherboards
Cons:
- Still lags behind in single-core tests
- Uses much more power than comparable Intel chips
- which also have on-chip graphics
