Review on AMD FX-8320E FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor by Janis Janis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

Gorgeous stone! I drove in comparison with the i5 4440 3.1Ghz, but that fit only for photoshop and the price was very depressing. As a result, I settled on this stone, in conjunction with the budget AsRock 970 Extreme 4 and the Zalman 10 Optima cooler, it feels great at a frequency of 4Ghz (set by raising the multiplier). In games, he acutely feels the difference in windows-power settings (works well only in the "high performance" mode ! in other modes, noticeable FPS drawdowns) I advise you, when purchasing this percentage, not to skimp on the power supply. I repeat the BUDGET system, let the intelomaniacs not bomb about synthetic tests. If you do not have an Intel Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E GO FOREST with your i3 and i5 I have something to compare (And this is not about games, but about performance in general). Bottom line: no money - take AMD, there is money, take top-end Intel

Pros
  • Power (for your money of course)! , potential for overclocking (the architecture is the same as that of more "older" and more expensive counterparts), performance. The heat spreader is soldered, not hot glue like intel's (no need to "scalp" the stone, with extreme cooling methods).
Cons
  • Alas, not without them -Hot guy (high TPD) 125 watts, but with a good case and CO no problem -From the above, as a consequence, high energy consumption. -Performance per core is inferior to the competitor from intel (in the same price category)
