The editors liked
Great Overclocking with 990FX Chipset
Lower Power Consumption
Better Thermal Performance
Excellent Multi-threading Performance
Very Reasonable Price
Strong Overclocking Potential
8 cores for not much cash
Overclockabilty
Strong performance in heavily threaded workloads
Potential performance win with DX12
No real reason to spend more for an FX9590
The editors didn't like
Lower Base Freq. compared to its Counter Part (to be expected)
Lack Luster Single Threaded Performance
Far behind Intel on a percore basis
Powerhungry even at stock clock speeds
Aggressively throttles when overclocked via turbo multiplier
Abstract: Back in September AMD announced new FX CPUs that included the FX-8370, FX-8370E, and FX-8320E. Back then we reviewed the FX-8370/FX-8370E CPUs under Linux but at the time didn't have our hands on the more affordable FX-8320E processor. In December AMD sen...

When AMD first released CPUs for their AM3+ platform we at OC3D were not overly impressed, behind the hype of AMD's "Bulldozer" architecture was some very power hungry, hot running and under-performing CPUs. When AMD's second generation of FX CPUs, Pile...

Anyone building a new performance system today is not exactly spoiled for choice. On the super extreme end, native octo-core processors with threading are in the market. AMD's high end FX models start by comparison to the Core i5 line but boasts double th...
After spending time with both the AMD FX-8320E and the MSI 970 Gaming I came out with a mostly positive outlook. For starters, the board is packed full of features and is selling for a great price. When you combine the board with the FX-8320E you have a...

There is no “fastest processor”. When planning your rig, you'll need to make a choice between core count and clock speed . Up until now, the argument for choosing more cores has boiled down to whether or not you regularly perform tasks that spawn lots of ...

The new AMD FX 8320E is far from ground breaking. It does not really need to be either. Its multi-threading prowess would make the Intel i3 an easy target. The FX 8320E is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's mild 3.2 GHz base clock and low power label makes ...
I rather have four cores that are twice as fast per core opposed to 8 cores that are slower, so again I'll say this, personally I would have preferred a faster per core performing AMD quad-core processor. realistically, we have been working with the FX 8...
Lower TDP = lower heat, Good single threaded performance (given the TDP), Good overclocking results!, Good gaming performance, Cheap!
Multicore performance suffers due to lower TDP
How to summarize the FX-8320E and MSI 970 Gaming? In short, they're a perfect pair. For a price lower than any of the Intel CPUs alone, you can get both a very good CPU for general use and gaming, as well as a damn fine motherboard to go with it... along...
I wouldn't be buying this CPU to run at stock speeds. This is a CPU that is sensibly priced and gives bang for buck, especially if you're happy to slap an above average cooler on it and overclock it to around the 4.5GHz mark. As with all overclocking, you...
