The Chinese portal of VR-Zone has revealed some great news for AMD fans that their upcoming flagship Vishera FX-8350 processor would cost under $200 Price range.
This is great news for PC builders since they can get a chip with eight cores clocked as high as 4.2 GHz (Turbo Core) below $200. That's not it, the whole Vishera lineup actually would be available at much affordable rates than expected before, following is a glimpse of the pricing schemes on various Vishera processors:
So they just trying to get rid off there last desktop cpu asap.
Maybe it is not so bad deal sell 1090 for $100 and get 8350 for $200. It should work on 890 chipset, right?

"last desktop cpu?" I've seen people saying this and it's pretty misleading to be honest. For anyone interested the meaning behind this is simply that amd will no longer produce cpu only chips. The rumor is that steamroller fx chips will have on die gpu's like bulldozer was originally planned to, (8130p anyone?) The description of last desktop cpu is misleading, as there will still be amd desktop apu's which are not completely unlike intel's processors with igpu's.
As for the rest of the statement, i doubt they are trying to just get rid of them asap, more likely they are priced where amd believes they need to be, to be competitive with intel's current offerings. If your board is am3+ socket, it should support piledriver, however i doubt boards like the crosshair 4 will get a bios update, as it is using the am3 socket. We won't know for sure what boards will support it until it is released however.
Edit: the screen of the cpu-z shows some interesting info, first off i believe this to be an error or cpu-z didn't update the voltage at the same moment it did the frequency, but .9v @ 4ghz.
Also whoever took the screen appears to be using windows 8, from the look of the cpu-z borders.
You can pretty much tell how these will perform based on Desktop Trinity. AMD processors are budget. They won't have anything that rivals the current i5's in all around performance until Steamroller.
In slightly-thread apps, for sure. It will probably trade blows with it in highly thread apps.
Basically, the performance boost that you get by going from Bulldozer to Piledriver should be similar to the boost Intel got by going from Sandy to Ivy.
Hmmm, there was already a thread that said the top model would cost less than € 200, but costing less than $ 200 is definitely news. That should provide some great competition against the Core i5-3570K. Intel wins on single threaded performance, but having 8 threads for a comparable price should be a good deal for some people.
Given Piledriver is a relatively minor touch-up to Bulldozer, it's been known for a while that Ivy will cream Vishera in single-core benches on a clock-for-clock basis, and even Sandy will still be considerably faster. Vishera, however, will destroy Sandy and at least keep parity with Ivy on multithreaded stuff.
At stock settings, it still won't be as good for gaming as Sandy or Ivy are, but if it's under $200 and unlocked when Intel's lowest-priced unlocked is currently ~$220, it'll still be a good chip for a mid-range machine, especially when OC'd.

I think better to get used 2600k for same price.
In single threaded applications of course, but the price isn't the factor here. Tho I am sure it will out work a 3570k in multi-threaded applications easily. Its looking like Vishera should be neck and neck with Phenom II in single thread performance. This should be AMD's redemption from Bulldozer, if they can price them accordingly. AMD should gain back some of their fans, as most AMD fans prefer AMD simply because of the price.

I might just wait for steamroller, hopefully I don't have to replace my mobo... AMD is smart for keeping the same socket, I know a lot of people aren't happy with the current chipsets, but I'll be saving pretty much $200 by not having to replace the mobo. that's $$$ well spent on a new GPU.

The prices look great I just hope that it will be an upgrade from my i5-2500, I don't know if I'll want to give up the option of getting an i7-3770 for a side-grade.

If an 8350 goes for <$200 and provides AT LEAST a 20% performance increase over my 1090T, I'll pre-order the darn thing.
It's been 3 years for god's sake, give me a viable upgrade option.
