AMD FX 8370 and 8370E processor review



We review the AMD FX 8370 and 8370E processor today. You guys have been hearing the magic word 'Vishera' for a while now and it is the codename for the Piledriver core based FX series processors from AMD. The CPU tested today has eight physical CPU cores, it will have a base clock of 4000 MHz, and can Turbo towards 4200. And that makes the FX series a multi-threaded high frequency monster. You can read our review right here at Guru3D of course.

If you push both HT and NB to 2600MHz you'll get much better performance memory wise

It doesn't look like the new chips overclock any better so it will probably still be best to save money and go for the 8320.
Stilt disagrees!!! He just set a new record with 8 cores @8722mhz

I have a feeling AMD has a stack full of AM3+ CPUs that haven't been released but are intentionally put on hold every time intel decides to release something. AMD probably knows these chips aren't really worth anyone's interest, but as long as they keep releasing them, they remind people "hey BTW, I still exist and I'm still kicking". In other words, as long as intel doesn't get 100% attention every time they release a new product, AMD will still be fresh in people's minds, hopefully long enough until they release something worth the attention.

I thought forsure you would be able to hit 4.9 with this processor... They are supposed to OC alittle better then a 8350.. 4.7 is a good number though if you are using air or there included AIO. Good review.
One thing about these processors is the how much you tweak the Northbridge, and if your doing sli upping the HT ups the bandwith to help with bottle necking.. I need to really get an Intel system going to compare..
Anyways if you have a lower budget this is the way to to go..
