Another AMD FX-8350 Piledriver Processor Review, this time from TechwareLabs
Hot on the heels of our AMD A10-5800K Trinity APU Review, AMD announced the release of their next generation FX-series processors based on the new “Piledriver” cores today. Fortunately for us here at TechwareLabs, AMD sent us a shiny new FX-8350 to put through its paces and share our thoughts.
For those of you not aware, the new “Piledriver” based processors are the next evolution of the FX-series from the previous “Bulldozer” based processors. Unfortunately, the “Bulldozer” release was met with quite a bit of constructive criticism, as the hype and pre-release detail left a lot of folks underwhelmed. So, the immediate upside for AMD this go around is many people will be going into this release with more realistic expectations. However, the obvious questions still loom, are the “Piledriver” based processors worth a look and more importantly your money? Let’s dive in and find out.
