AMD FX-8350

AMD FX-8350

The AMD FX-8350 is a fast desktop octa-core processor (4 modules) of the "Vishera" FX series.  In contrast to APUs like the A10-5800K, the FX models doesn't have a GPU. However, the FX-8350 integrates a DDR3-1866 memory controller and an unlocked multiplicator for easy overclocking.

The design of the chip is based on the Bulldozer architecture (Piledriver cores), which consists of so-called modules. Each of the four modules integrates 2 integer units, but only one FPU. Vishera supports nearly all current techniques such as AVX (including FMA), AES or Turbo Core.

In terms of performance, the FX-8350 can not quite keep up with the fastest competing models from Intel. On average, the performance is about on par with a Core i5 processor of the Ivy Bridge generation, but there can be significant differences depending on the application: In well parallelized software the FX-8350 reaches the more expensive Core i7-3770K, while less optimized tasks will run significantly slower.

The power consumption of the entire chip is rated at 125 watts (TDP).
