Yes,but it doesn't run constantly on 4Ghz,only when it's needed...it will run at 3.5ghz natively unless you overclock it by yourself or push it to turbo boost itself (but come on,who will force 8core CPU to turbo boost nowadays)
the turblo is already 4ghz..
yup
If I don't plan on overclocking...right now, I won't need an aftermarket cooler, correct?
FX 8320 if u plan to get aftermarket cooler,liquid or air... Overclock it to 4ghz or 4,2ghz and it beats 4570anyday.
Which should I get FX 8320 or i5 4570?
