Excellent Price
Improved "Piledriver" Cores
AMD Turbo Core 3.0
Improved latencies compared to FX8150
4GHz out of the box (4.2GHz with Turbo Core)
Unlocked
5GHz Overclockable
Excellent Multi-threading Performance
Very Reasonable Price
Strong Overclocking Potential
Best OEM Cooler Available
Improved performance and power consumption over previous generation products.
Reasonably priced
Appreciable performance improvements with multicore-optimized software
Compatible with older AMD socket and motherboards
Good Performance
Decent Overclocker
Improved Efficiency
Easy Upgrade For Existing AMD Owners
Lower priced processor and cheaper motherboards
An overall performer with decent scores in almost all benchmarks should be sufficient reasons to get the AMD FX-8350
Designed for overclocking
This processor really does double up on clock speeds without
Eight cores and 5GHz on your desktop computer
Officially supports DDR31866 memory
Better performance than Intel on multithreaded tasks
An FX system has 38 usable PCIE lanes as opposed to the 24 lanes of a Sandy Bridge system
Excellent price/performance ratio
Finally competitive with Intel in the $200 CPU range
Excellent affordability versus computing power
Low platform price
NEW Piledriver CPU core design
Improved "Per Clock" performance
Compatible with existing AM3+ products
The editors didn't like
Power consumption and temperatures have been improved but still high
Lack Luster Single Threaded Performance
Still lags Intel in important areas like gaming
Still lags behind in single-core tests
Uses much more power than comparable Intel chips
Which also have on-chip graphics
Dated Platform
Intel CPUs Still Clearly Faster
Outdated technology that does not match up to latest generation of processors from Intel
Eats a lot of power in stock configuration and naturally heats up when overclocked
With Ryzen 5 coming out shortly
The 8350 might just have breathed its last
Shou
Single core performance still lags far behind Intel
Few programs use new FX instructions like fused multiplyadd
So the full performance potential remains untapped
Same maximum TDP as previous products
Perhaps a bit late to the market. It still uses 32nm while Intel is on 22nm
Higher power consumption than Intel products
"Low" but adequate single-threaded performance will not appeal to some

All the data we've gathered provides real insight into how AMD and Intel CPU architectures compared over the past decade for gaming. We've seen AMD come from nowhere to often beating Intel, while the latter has made smaller steps in pure architecture term...
Abstract: Released in 2011, the AM3+ CPUs are now the grannies on today's CPU market. But are they still relevant today? Although we're now using AM4 CPUs, some AM3+ CPUs are still around. Either still in some stores or part of some builds, the AM3+ chips are still...

A reliable performer that has been doing the rounds for years now, AMD FX-8350 was supposed to revolutionize the processor market in its launch year. Unfortunately, the euphoria did not last and AMD was relegated to the realms of affordable unlocked proce...
Testing will be conducted by having the FX 8350 CPU set to operate at the base and turbo mode frequencies, then running Prime95 to obtain a stress readings for temperature and fan speeds. Readings will be made with the older AMD stock cooler compared to t...

The new AMD FX 8350 is far from ground breaking. It does not really need to be either. Its multi-threading prowess would make the Intel Core i3 an easy target and can even take down the more expensive Core i5 in some cases. As the overclocking testing sho...

Abstract: Rumours of the AMD FX processor's death has been greatly exaggerated. Five years old and still going — ancient by typical CPU-age metrics but have newfound relevance with the rise of VR. Both the AMD FX 6350 and FX 8350 pass the SteamVR performance test w...

Abstract: Although I didn't spend much time playing Batman: Arkham Origins, I remember the game rather well after testing it on no less than 30 graphics cards and 20 CPUs. Arkham Origins appeared to take full advantage of Unreal Engine 3, it ran smoothly on afforda...

Competition is a good thing and without it, we all lose out. Unfortunately, Intel isn't facing much in the way of competition in the desktop CPU market right now, and they haven't for some time. AMD's year and a half old Piledriver-based FX processors can...
By the end of this review, all i have to say is that AMD now has a product that is competitive against Intel processors in terms of value. Intel Core i5 series are aimed by budget PC builders and gamers since they offer about the same performance minus th...
