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Outdated technology that does not match up to latest generation of processors from Intel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

Piledriver is what Bulldozer should have been in the first place. The FX-8350 puts AMD back on track, but not yet back in the game. If it were not for Intel's exceptional high IPC and performance per watts ratio on Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge, AMD's Vishera/P...

We ran her through the twisties. We did the drag racing. We measured her mileage. We even popped her hood to figure out what makes this little speedster tick. In every way, today's FX-8350 is better than the FX-8150 that preceded it. Faster. More efficien...

You've probably gathered that the FX-8350 improves on its Bulldozer-based precursor pretty handily for a chip that's neither a die shrink nor an all-new architecture. The final verdict on the FX-8350 isn't terribly difficult to render, but it does have s...
Abstract: Today, AMD is releasing its second-generation of FX CPUs, dubbed “Vishera.” The FX-8350 is currently the highest-end model available, running at 4 GHz and costing USD 195. Let’s see how it fares against its main competitor, the Core i5-3470 (3.2 GHz, U...
While AMD is trying to make a value statement with its new FX-8350 (selling for $219 at time of publication), it simply will not be able to do so in the enthusiast arena. Perhaps, if we find that the $169 FX-8320 turns out to be a healthy overclocker, it...
AMD FX 8350 may not be the most powerful option on the market, or have the latest technology, but the raw performance is still ample for most gaming needs...
Increased per thread performance, Higher base frequency at same TDP, Higher overclocking, Eight cores, More performance/lower price, Increased multi threaded performance...
Single threaded performance still not on par with competition...
When Bulldozer was released a year ago, it had a problem that was almost bigger than the single threaded performance and that was broken expectations. After five or so years of delays and hearing about the forthcoming new architecture from AMD, review...
AMD’s new FX-8350 processor may not be a revolutionary product but it represents the next logical step towards evolving a platform that will be around for the foreseeable future. After the lackluster showings of Bulldozer, Llano and to a lesser extent ...
As we noted in the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X CPU Review, gaming is a mixed bag for AMD. Some titles respond well to the new architecture, while most others still require optimization of some sort. Where those optimizations will focus remains a question mark...
