Nice to see AMD make some gains, though not quite as far as I was hoping for. Now to wait for Steamroller....

This might be a decent and cheap upgrade from my Q6600.
A few weeks ago I was tempted with the 8120 and 8150, but I remembered Piledriver was right around the corner.

AMD said it would only be a 10% increase performance wise in a statement awhile back. So not really surprising i guess, it is looking pretty tempting for an upgrade from my 1055t though.

This is why amd cpu deparment is loosing money the performance is just not there even the old i7 980x beats it on most benches. their gpu on the other hand are sweet. but their gpu was ATI so lmao!

Not a great CPU, but for $200 I think it's good enough to replace my 1090T unlike the AMD FX 1850 was.

well firstly thanks for review Hilbert and it's time for me to upgrade but before doin' this I have some things to say.
I would really like to see some overclock without voltage increase and undervolt under stock setting but you can't have it all.
1) I really cannot understand WHY the heck they still test CPU's in games at 1024 resolution with lowest details possible? THIS IS STUPID :stewpid: and not realistic as I cannot see somebody buying a high end Intel/AMD and an GTX680/7970 and play at that resolution. Really cannot get that and it makes me SICK:puke2:.
2) I play in Eyefinity and having already a CHV it the best upgrade way for me. @ 5760x1080 also 2x3770K makes no difference.
3) I do Bluray transcoding and looks like 8350 really kicks here:

4) Clock/Clock is better than Thuban and really kicks well in a lot of benchies:

Thanks for the review.
It appears, it's a nice CPU for video transcoding, rendering and other heavy-multi-threaded apps. For games - 3-4-year old Intel CPU is faster (965) which is kinda sad. However...
If you pay $195 for the CPU, also get cheaper AMD mobo, and use the saved $$$ on better graphics card, you'll get yourself a nice gaming rig, which at the same time can manage CPU-heavy tasks in really good fashion.

1) I really cannot understand WHY the heck they still test CPU's in games at 1024 resolution with lowest details possible? THIS IS STUPID :stewpid: and
Perhaps open your eyes and actually look at the tests ? You'll notice results for 1024x768 - 1280x1024 - 1600x1200 and 1920x1200
Lower resolution scores however are included to show you the effect of CPU performance, as higher resolutions are GPU bound.
Lowest details possible ? FC2 is in DX10 mode with high quality settings and 4xAA - Crysis 2 uses DX11 with the HR texturepack in Extreme quality settings at 4xAA

A single Tenerife or GK110 will shed some more light on Vishera performance soon enough.

damn, I wanted to order one over mindfactory and cannot do it anymore. They had at 8:00 in the morning more than 5 on stock, and now at 11:00 (after I have checked all available reviews:)) they are out of stock (more than 10 sold)!!
They should expect a new delivery after 31.10.2012....too long to wait!

Id like to see how this stacks up with crossfire and sli. and if it might be better with mulit gpu's over just one. any way we could see bf3 and crysis with 2 or 3 gpu's the 3770k and 2600k versus this?

I found some but they are both overclocked. It is for SLI/CFX not ideal CPU that's clear.
BLEH!
For the money, that's a pretty decent chip. Combined with a 990FX board, good for some multi-GPU lovin'.
