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 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...

  • 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

AMD Piledriver FX-8350 Review

AMD have certainly raised the game with the revised version of Bulldozer, known now as Piledriver. However, we have not seen the quoted 'up to 23%' improvement which AMD said there should be. Obviously, that is in an ideal world it may be that big of a difference between the two CPUs.
Pros:
  • + 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

When we looked at the Piledriver CPU, we ran it with our standard CPU review HD 6970. However, our CPU review game and 3D benchmark suite is a bit long in the tooth. In an effort to keep our readers more well-informed, we went back to the drawing board to run our much more modern gaming suite (which...
