AMD FX-8350 and FX-6300 Processor Review: Vishera Breaks Cover
Results: 3D Mark Vantage
Though 3DMV is getting a bit old and only supports DX10 rendering, it still is a useful tool to gauge overall CPU performance. The performance preset is used.
We again see the 8350 move ahead of the 8150, and we especially see the increase in the two CPU tests. The FX-6300, even though it is 300 MHz slower than the FX-6200, stays right next to its older brother. Interestingly enough, though the 6300 is slightly slower in the CPU tests, it is quite a bit faster in the game tests. The 3770K is just plain fast

The 8350 beats the 1100T in every scenario just fine and the difference is more than obvious.
The 8350 is AMD's fastest cpu in everything by a good margin.
Thanks for the indepth article Josh. Just one minor correction. In the Test Setup section on the third page, the third sentence reads:
"In the meantime we have seen Intel release their Ivy Bridge lineup, as well as the Ivy Bridge E series."
I'm assuming this should read "Sandy Bridge E" instead of Ivy E, unless you guys at PCPer have access to some shiny newness that you're not telling us about ;)
Otherwise, a good read.
Thanks!
Ack, yes... I meant SB-E. I almost wish that socket would just die...
It would be interesting to see how much power spike happened on the 8350 when it was clocked to 4.6ghz. Since its only 400mhz overclock but AMD cpu's lately have been know to chew power up on mild overclock's.
I went from amd sempron to amd phenom then to 2x xeons loved it now im with i7 3770k 4.9Ghz im never going back to amd!
8 Cores, TDP @ 95w, stock speed 4.0ghz/4.6ghz turbo, running cool on air, under $200.00 then we're talking... until then I see no reason to purchase. Step in the right direction however..dont give up AMD!
You guys do know both the PS3 and XBox720 will be using AMD APUs. AMD is not going anywhere.
