by Tech Radar (Nov, 2012)Like the K Series Intel chips, the entire FX range is unlocked, so overclocking is definitely on the menu.
by Legit Reviews (Oct, 2012)If you're looking to upgrade from an older system you really can't beat the price to performance ratio offered with an eight core 4GHz processor processor for only $195!

What People Are Saying Give it to me straight
Socket Type
by Legit Reviews (Oct, 2012)The new FX processors will be manufactured using Global Foundries' 32nm process and consists of ~1.2 billion transistors.
by Legit Reviews (Oct, 2012)It is a direct sequel to 2005's Battlefield 2, and the eleventh installment in the Battlefield franchise.
by Tech Radar (Nov, 2012)If pricing follows the previous generation then you're looking at around a £70 difference, and that could make for that bump up to a HD 7950.
Socket
by Legit Reviews (Oct, 2012)Today we stuck to increasing the multiplier and left the Bclk alone, we were able to bring the FX-8350 to a rock solid 4.9GHz without breaking a sweat.
by Legit Reviews (Oct, 2012)I have heard it said on countless occasions that you get 80% of the performance for 60% of the price.
by Tech Radar (Nov, 2012)That performance gap gets even bigger when you chuck the HD encoding benchmark of X264 v4.0 at the pair with the FX-8350 getting almost 25 per cent better results than the Intel i5.
Performance
by Legit Reviews (Oct, 2012)Benchmark Results: The second pass of the X264 HD Video Encoding benchmark is much more processor intensive than the first pass.
by Legit Reviews (Oct, 2012)Two of our game benchmarks don't benefit from the faster processors today.
by Tech Radar (Nov, 2012)It's not quite the 1GHz+ speed boost you can get out of Intel's architecture, but it does give you some impressive performance gains.
Applications
by Tech Radar (Nov, 2012)Single-threaded prowess still counts for a lot, not least in gaming.
by Tech Radar (Nov, 2012)Your graphics card is most responsible for your gaming experience, so it makes sense to drop the most cash on that.
by Tech Radar (Nov, 2012)With the AMD software though, it remained happily numbercrunching away.
Multicore
by Legit Reviews (Oct, 2012)The new AMD 'Piledriver' modules are essentially revamped 'Bulldozer' cores.
by PCMag (Nov, 2012)While this has allowed AMD to pack more cores into the same space, it's also impacted the performance of each particular core.
by PCMag (Nov, 2012)Intel CPUs have fewer cores, but the performance of each individual core tends to be higher.
