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Outdated technology that does not match up to latest generation of processors from Intel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

Abstract: Now that Piledriver-based CPUs and APUs are widely available (and the FX-8350 is selling for less than $200), it's a great time to compare value-oriented chips in our favorite titles. We're also breaking out a test that conveys the latency between frames....
Our hero should have been released a year ago, named "FX-8150." Like any worthy debut processor of a new microarchitecture, it outperforms Phenom II X6 1100T and scores on a par with (sometimes even better than) the top Core i5 CPUs of the 2nd generat...
The AMD LCS that they are offering with the older FX-8150, and supposedly will be offering with the newer FX-8350, is a really nice little unit which will improve overclocking and thermal performance as compared to even a high end forced air unit.I was ab...
Abstract: AMD FX-8350 - Transistor polishing We have to admit that the first encounter with Bulldozer was a bit disappointing, whether we’re talking about our own or the general impression. Simply enough, AMD’s octa-core CPU was expected to deliver a lot, yet it...
Abstract: The launch of Socket AM3+ processors with Piledriver microarchitecture inspired many AMD fans. However, until recently we only based our opinion on the results obtained from the top model in the new AMD FX family. Today we are going to make up for this omission and carry out a detailed performance analysis of all Vishera processors with eight, six and four cores....

The AMD FX-8350 CPU improves company's standing against Intel but doesn't rewrite the rules of the game....
So, what have we learned? Objectively, when looking at our entire benchmarking and gaming suite, the FX-8350 is priced right where it should be. Let's start with a reminder of price. As configured, the two systems here are $220 apart, or 16.7%. As menti...
Does, the AMD FX-8350, flagship of the new AMD FX range, mark AMD’s return to form? There has been much progress since the launch of the FX-8150, though it has to be said that this isn’t saying all that much. In terms of performance first of all, there...
Abstract: We take a look at the Trinity based A10-5800K and Vishera FX-8350 processors from AMD and see how they do in terms of all important performance....
The FX-8350 is faster across the board than the FX-8150 but like its predecessor, it's hampered by uninspiring single-threaded performance and crummy energy efficiency. In both regards, there's a lot of ground to make up if AMD want to catch Intel. Sa...
