[OBR] AMD FX-8300/6300 family-Piledrive or Not

With the upcoming AMD FX-8300 launch (original title FX2-8300) and my test of processor FX-8300 appeared a lot of questions about what this processor is actually like. Comparing official images of Cores (above) makes it clear that the Core of the "new" processor is identical with the old processors based on "Bulldozer". Here we have another evidence, such as CPUz program. He clearly shows that the FX-8300 is only Bulldozer "Zambezi" revision C0. But Cores are not quite the same! Let's look at the pictures ...


Not sure if it goes here since I don't post news, but seeing as how no one has posted it yet, I figured I'd post it.

CPUz info won't show right until the CPU's are released and CPUz can be patched.

I'm pretty sure the author of cpu-z can get a chip earlier then most of us to get he raw values.
The program reads raw registry data in the cpu anyways

Things are pretty clear what the OBR demonstrated in tests, the FX-8300 ES is not complete or whole Piledriver core it's pretty clear. rolleyes.gif

Trinity APU(full Piledriver Core) is 15% faster than Bulldozer FX-8150 clock by clock it is already known. On the other hand this FX-8300 ES/C0 is barely 5% faster, clock by clock than the first Bulldozer B2 CPU revision and that's it by the way HAVO thank you for the comparison test. wink.gif

I'm worried that this will be what AMD is going to release though in order to get Steamroller out faster.

why is that a problem ?

Phenom II x6 was just like this, a mere stepping stone.

imo it's better to skip pile driver core on FX and make ES of steamroller to bug fix another problems in the module/cores.

beside the ES shown here is 95 watts and 3.3ghz 4.2ghz Turbo.
current FX is 125 watt 3.6ghz and 4.2ghz turbo.

ORLY? Best cpu line AMD has produced to date was just a "stepping stone"? To date..They have not produced a cpu with better performance than Thuban.
I'll gain faith in AMD when they produce something that outdoes Thuban.It may happen.
