AMD Launches x86 Piledriver Based 125W FX-8370 and 95W FX-8370E, FX-8320E

Back at the Radeon event held last week, AMD demonstrated a live overclocking preview of the FX-8370 processor where renowned overclocker "Chew" from Xtremesystems overclocked the fleck by 8 GHz and even got to see a overclock world record of the FX-8370 a few days from overclocker "The Stilt" who had the chip clocked at an impressive 8.7 GHz on liquid nitrogen cooling. The show detailed nix else regarding the FX processors simply we already had received information on the new refresh chips prior to event so permit's do a quick run through of what we are looking at today.

Let's go started with the FX-8370 now which will go the flagship x86 Piledriver processor of the original FX-8000 lineup until AMD plans to launch a new processor line (hopefully no refresh). AMD does accept steamroller but they aren't focusing it towards the high-stop desktop market instead focusing it towards the APU market with their Kaveri APUs and Athlon processors. The FX-8370 is clocked at 4.30 GHz base of operations and four.40 GHz boost clock and ships with a viii MB L3 cache, 8 cores. 125W TDP and a cost of $189 The states. The FX-8370E on the other manus has the same specifications aside from the 3.three GHz cadre and 4.3 GHz clock speeds maintaining a TDP of 95W. Both the FX-8370 and FX-8370E are priced at $199.99 Us.

Next upwards, we have the FX-8320E which is an optimized FX-8320 with a core clock of iii.20 GHz, turbo clock of 4.00 GHz, an 8 MB L3 Cache and a 95W TDP. The processor is priced at $146.99 Usa. Finally, nosotros accept the FX-8300 which was introduced in the Chinese market which comes in at a 3.30 GHz core and four.20 GHz heave clock followed by a 8 MB L3 cache, a 125W TDP and a price of around a 120 United states of america dollars. With new chips and price cuts, AMD will try to proceeds some market share abroad from Intel's Haswell line of processors. The recent 8 core offerings nether $200 The states seem skilful against the Cadre i3 and Cadre i5 lineup but enthusiasts still adopt to go for the Intel road when spending more than than $200 The states with processors such as the Core i5-4670K, Core i5-4690K, Core i7-4770K, Core i7-4790K and even the latest G3258 Pentium 20th Anniversary edition which is a good choice for upkeep users.

AMD has also adapted their price model for their entire FX-8000 series lineup with the FX-9590 now coming in at $229.99 United states of america (Liquid Cooling Package) and the FX-9370 coming in at $210.99 US (Liquid Cooling Packet). The long running FX-8350 can exist bought at a low price of $179.99 The states while the FX-8320 retails for $146.99 The states. The contempo new comer, the FX-8310 is down to just $129.99 US.

On the FM2+ side, the Athlon 2 X4 860K, Athlon 2 X4 840 and Athlon X2 450 processors are coming out to the marketplace soon.The steamroller based Athlon II X4 860K Quad Core chip features four threads, 3.seven GHz clock speed, two MB L2 enshroud and a 95W TDP. The heave clock is not known but considering the A10-7850K which is also a 3.seven GHz clocked scrap jumps to 4.0 GHz in boost mode, nosotros can see a similar boost clock for the Athlon X4 860K. The Athlon X4 840 is a quad core processor featuring a iii.4 GHz clock speed, 2 MB L2 cache, 95W TDP while the Athlon X2 450 is a dual cadre steamroller based processor of which details are non known at the moment. In improver to these, AMD also has 2 AM1 chips planned for launch which include the Ahtlon X4 550 and Athlon X4 530 processors based on the updated Jaguar architecture codenamed Puma.
