The new models use the long-awaited Piledriver enhanced x86 core and the same 8 MB level 3 cache.

The maximum supported memory is still 1866 MHz DDR3, but the processors themselves will likely offer an overall 20% performance increase over today’s FX 8150 CPU like we’ve reported here.

The new additions are reportedly called FX 8300 and FX 8320.

These are unlocked CPUs and the former runs at a base frequency of 3.3 GHz while the latter rated at 3.5 GHz with a 4.0 GHz Turbo option.

It'd be really cool (for them) if they were able to shrink the die a tad, and therefore be able to produce them at less cost. I do think 20% is too optimistic though... especially on the same process. I'm sure some workloads will see that kind of improvement, but the average is likely to be around 10-15%.

The only thing AMD is "Piledriving" is their business.

Lol, I had to. I only meant it in good humor tongue.gif I used to be all-AMD.

I don't, I see 15% being average but 20% being possible (But not likely). Keep in mind BD was rushed, so there's a lot AMD could improve on easily for PD.

Speaking of, if that 20% figure is comparing a stock FX-8320 to a stock FX-8150, it's up to 20% faster while running 200Mhz slower; I see this being the ultimate budget users chip at the very least.

Looks like AMD is finally on the right track.

if there is a 20%+ gain with better overclocking

Than this would put amd above intel for highly threaded apps

But when it comes down to it, the ipc is too slow to give Intel any real competition.
