AMD FX-8350 review Amazing for serious multitasking, but eight cores is still too many for most applications Advertisement Specifications.Theres a clock speed boost and a new core design, which AMD hopes will start to close the performance gap between its chips and Intels all-conquering Core range.
![]() The top-of-the-range FX-8350 and FX-8320 have eight cores, while down the range you have a six-core FX-6300 and four-core FX-4300. They still use the AM3 socket and need the AMD 970, 990X and 990FX chipsets. This has a huge eight cores, arranged in four modules of four cores each. Each module shares a 2MB block of level 2 cache, while all four modules share an 8MB pool of level 3 cache. This modular approach is meant to share cache more efficiently, as each of the two cores in each module can access more level 2 cache when necessary than if the cache was split evenly across all eight cores. ![]() The new core has the same 32nm process but a host of microarchitecture improvements, and the maximum clock speed for the high-end chip has jumped from 3.6GHz to 4GHz. The maximum speed the processor can reach in Boost mode, where the chip can dynamically overclock where theres enough thermal headroom, hasnt changed, at 4.2GHz. Amd Fx 8350 Cpu Specs Driver Cores InFour sets of two Piledriver cores in AMDs new performance chip In our tests of last years Bulldozer-equipped AMD FX-8150, our main criticisms revolved around the fact that few, if any, Windows programs are optimised to take advantage of so many cores. We found that even video-encoding, which traditionally works well with multiple cores, could only use around 50 of the processor. ![]() Unfortunately, this is still the case with the new processor. The new chip is significantly faster than the old one, but most applications still dont use it to its full potential. During our multi-threaded video encoding benchmark, for example, processor usage never got above 54. Even during the multitasking test, which runs all our benchmarks together while playing back a high-definition video, processor usage never got above 70. In comparison, Intels quad-core Core i5-3570K ran at 100 usage in both video-encoding and multitasking tests, leading to superior scores. AMDs new chip is as quick as last years Intel equivalent, but this years rival has pulled ahead (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Page 1 of 2 AMD FX-8350 review 1.
