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

The performance of the processor (8 cores total) was satisfactory. The temperature does not exceed 50 degrees when everything is set to the default settings (this is not while tested by AIDA, which cannot correctly load modules or cores of FX-owls, but rather with the aid of OCCT Linpak + AVX + 90% ram). The situation changes during overclocking; the temperature already hits 70 degrees at 4GHz @ 1.3125V and continues to rise. My Kingston HyperX Red 2x4Gb 1600MHz CL9 kit accelerates to about 2250MHz with timings of 11-11-11-29, and I enjoyed working with RAM. There is sufficient performance for gaming; in the same tanks, I average 60 frames per second (vertical sync enabled), with sporadic drawdowns of up to 35 to 40 frames per second. I have the deepest sympathy for those who will have to spend too much for the processor 3-16 since the difference between 5-10 frames per second in games is crucial to them. The future of software is also in multithreading, and for less than $5, you can get a stylish processor with a solid foundation for the future. New consoles will have 8 AMD cores on board, thus new games will be designed for those cores. Regarding the temperatures, I think my cooler is the cause (perhaps a fractured heat pipe or something else).
