I think AMD is now a good option, and if i can get the means i might grab a 6300 and a decent mobo at microcenter soon. They overclock well, performance is up quite a bit overall, and the prices seem pretty good right now, doubt they'll drop much or any anytime soon. Only thing i am complaining about in the artical is how they keep saying the 6300 doesn't beat its competitor, well AMD aimed it at a 190 buck i5, of course it looses, but it's priced barely higher than an i3!

Actually looked and of course newegg has them priced above those given prices

I need to buy a better amd processor too i'm using a amd phenom II x6 and have no idea how to overclock if you get a 6300, you must teach me :P I can't go intel unless I want to change boards...and I don't want too lol.
 
AMD is competing purely on price, if performance is your sole priority, go Intel. Of course it will cost you 2-3x as much.

the 6300 isn't or only by a bit better then yours... (if you got a 1090T or 1100T)

I also have to say:

I'm very dissapointed about their improvements in Singlethreaded performance AND gaming performance...

But all that said, the price is ok. Would buy an AMD FX 8core vishera for my server if I had the money...
Multithreaded performance has a nice performance, but like I said before. They need to improve their singlethreaded performance first.
If you are looking for a cheap cpu for 3D modeling, the vishera is the way to go.

EDIT: Just looked some reviews and the vishera's are a very good improvement. Gaming isn't that bad as I thought and singlethreaded is much better (still no competition for intel that part). In the multithreaded part it owns the i7 3770K in some parts. If you don't have that much money to spend, go for the new vishera's.

Suppost to get a FX 8320 tomorrow. Will let you know how it overclocks.

Well they were getting 4.8 on it, 5 on the 4300.

Smile, they do have much worse single threaded but todayalmost everything is multithreaded and anything that isnt tends to be a light app so single threaded isnt as big of a concern to me. And the multithreaded is great, especially for the money, only most of the performance is in the speed, the IPC still sucks comparatively, but when it comes to the numbers, they are pretty dang strong as far as im concerned.

I'm curious how it should score on my bench :p.
I think 1550 if you overclock it to 4.5ghz :P

And jhonny, Singlethreaded performance is still very important, it doesn't work like "all apps are multithreaded now" Each thread has his own power, if the app isn't that hard, the cpu will only use some threads.

Get a 6300 too and review it for me ;).
I'm waiting to see if there's gong to be a bios revision for me.
I see there's a revision for the 970A-UD3 you've had sigged. Is that your plan?
 
I'm quite impressed with the 8350, nice improvement:good:
Along with that price, thats sexy. I'd actually buy it.
to bad i have no excuse to drop 300 into my computer, already fast enought:o

then sell it to me used really cheap ;)

Then sell it to me, so I can use it for my server :P

Saw all reviews I think, 12 huge reviews with long tables ;p.
If I'm right the fx8350 would perform between the i5 2500k and the i5 3570k in general performance. They're very close to eachother in the sum of the aspects, but very different in appart aspects.

200* if you got the right mobo

8350 costs like 220 on newegg even though AMD says it's 200 on their slides :confused: but the 8320 is 170 and by next month microcenter should be stocked up with a deal similar to the ones on the current AMD and Intel cpus so you could get a 8320 and a good mobo for under 250
 
it sometimes outperforms the 3570k according to toms hardware, meaning as a budget chip its fixed alot of the problems the first gen chips had...its a success of a chip, still dont think its for me though, but it definitely gives the user some choices in cpu in the 200 dollar price range

Yeh, AMD made a nice improvement. But I expect them to tune their steamrollers so they can also compete with the rest of the aspects.

Was suppost to have got a 8320 yesterday. The dude brought me the wrong one. Somehow ended up with a 8150. Be a couple of more days. Would just get one from egg, but getting a really good deal on it, lol.

Steamroller will have alot of changes.

Steamroller is when, 2014? I'm going Vishera when I find out if Asus is going to give me a bios. I'm thinking they won't but I'll give them more time.
