New microarchitecture, new level of performance
Piledriver microarchitecture, a tuned-up Bulldozer, has finally reached the flagship AMD FX processors (the new FX series processors are codenamed Vishera) for improved performance and better energy-efficiency. Four “Piledriver” cores ensure rich, crisp video and seamless multitasking. The AMD Turbo Core technology pushes your core frequencies to the most when you need it most. To top it off, like all other AMD’s Black Edition processors, the new AMD FX 4-core Vishera processor is fully unlocked for fabulous overclocking* capability. Great performance is not the only trick AMD has up their sleeve. Vishera processors are at a reasonable price point.
* AMD’s product warranty does not cover damage caused by overclocking even when overclocking is enabled via AMD Overdrive software.

AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) Technology with IOMMU
These silicon feature-set enhancements are designed to improve the performance, reliability and security of existing and future virtualization environments by allowing virtualized applications direct and rapid access to their allocated memory. IOMMU is an extension to AMD64 architecture to support address translation and access protection on DMA transfers. Together, virtualization software runs more securely and efficiently enabling a better experience when dealing with virtual systems.
- Security for User Level application and Virtual Machine guest operating system
- Address translation and access control
- Device isolation
- Device assignment in virtualized systems
- Security and trusted boot support
- Unified interrupt management
AMD PowerNow! AMD Technology (Cool'n'Quiet Technology)
Enhanced power management features automatically and instantaneously adjust performance states and features based on processor performance requirements, helping users get more efficient performance by dynamically activating or turning off parts of the processor.
- C6 power state flushes the cache and removes voltage from individual cores to help reduce power consumption
- CC6 power state puts all cores in C6 into an even lower power state for quieter operation and reduced power requirements
- Separate memory controller power control
- IO-based c-state interface
- Works automatically without the need for drivers or BIOS enablement.
- Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle, saving energy with minimal impact on performance
Benefit: Helps users get more efficient performance by dynamically activating or turning off parts of the processor.

Pros: This FX-8350 is a beast, pure and simple. One of the best "bang for your buck" processors on the market at the moment. Easy to overclock. I got 4.3GHz out of the box, stable, only using the motherboards (Sabertooth 990FX) default performance profile. I went to 4.5GHz on all 8 cores, stable, with only minor tweaking. However, do NOT attempt to OC unless you know what you're doing and fully understand the risks. In all reality, there is no need to overclock this processor, out of the box, at it's default speeds, it will handle just about anything you throw at it, period. There are a lot of "benchmarks" out there, so there is no point in me repeating them, what I will do it give some examples of it's real world performance being at the core of my gaming rig. The FX-8350 will handle any modern gaming tasks with out even breaking a sweat. It makes short work of all the "3's", Arma, Battlefield, Bioshock, Crysis, ect. I have yet to slow it down and I have tested a lot games on it so far, in addition to the aforementioned titles, Metro Last Light, Tomb Raider, Defiance, and many others. This processor performs well above it's price point at the core of a high-end gaming rig. I also live stream to Twitch, record via Fraps, and host the occasional game server on my system, in all cases, the FX-8350 handles it easily. Day to day usage, such as social media, HD video playback, and general "work" pose little challenge to this, or any modern processor. This thing is meant to handle much more. Yes, it's not going to beat a high-end, and much more expensive, Intel chip when it comes to raw computation, but at it's price point it don't have too. I got this processor for my main rig since most of what I do on it, is gaming, editing, and broadcasting. Three tasks it can handle just as good as much more expensive options. So if you're a gamer, looking for a inexpensive high-end processor, then the FX-8350 should be intensely considered. There are a lot of other longer reviews, and this is a lot shorter that what I normally write. The whole point I am trying to convey is that this is a great processor, it beastly for gaming, and at this price point it's hard to beat. All you need to do is couple this processor with other good high-end hardware, and it will game as hard as you want it too.
Cons: None as of yet. It's stable, running cool, and doing everything I am asking of it. One thing to note is that single-threaded games, especailly older ones, are not this processors strong point. It handles multi-threaded modern games far better. However, I have yet to find a single-threaded game it don't easily handle.
Overall Review: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (This) AMD FX-8350 @ 4.3GHz ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 XFX DD Radeon 7970 Black Edition EVGA GT 640 (Hybrid Dedicated Physx) Corsair Professional HX850W PSU Seagate 600 240GB SSD Multiple Western Digital Black SATA 6 drives. Cooler Master HAF 932 I am running it at 4.3GHz since, even though I had it Prime95 stable at 4.5GHz, becasue I am currently running on air (Thermaltake Frio), and there is little to no gaming difference between 4.3 and 4.5, so there is no point. I will see how far I can push it after I do my water conversion. I tend to "baby" my hardware, once I know it's limits. This processor was purchased as an upgrade from the Phenom II X6 1090T (OC @ 3.8GHz). Also a fantastic processor in it's own right, but it was time to retire it to a secondary system. There is a noticeable gaming improvement between the two processors, more so in the more demanding titles. The FX-8350 is also faster when it comes to multi-threaded applications. This is comparing the 1090T at it's 3.8GHz OC and the FX-8350 at it's stock 4.0GHz. Kudos to AMD for improving over Zambezi, which I decided to skip since the 1090T pretty much beat it across the board. This FX-8350 Vishera is a great processor at a great price. Keep calm and game on!
