AMD FX-8350 and FX-6300
[Posted by: Steve]

Today AMD is launching its second generation FX processors based on the Piledriver microarchitecture. This next step in the evolution of the FX-series aims to refine the original recipe by improving performance and efficiency. Once again the range will include processors with up to eight cores, while six and four core models will also be available...

With the exception of WinRAR and Fritz Chess, the AMD FX-8350 was no more than 6% faster than the FX-8150 in any one of our tests, despite being clocked 11% faster (though we should keep in mind both processors feature a max turbo frequency of 4.2GHz). It was a similar situation when comparing the FX-6300 to the FX-6100, though the margins here were even slimmer as the Piledriver part is clocked just 6% higher.

Well the multi-threading performance is strong.

It doesn't beat the i-7 3770k flag ship but it isn't as bad as people are portraying it to be.

In my opinion:
Best performance for price :(top to bottom)
(OC) = Overclockable + unlock multipliers
(--) = oc at most 100-200 mhz with dificulty, non unlock multiplier
$200-average
------
i5-3570k @ $229.99 (OC)The best for its value/performance, outvalue and perform 3450 and 8350
fx-8350 @ $219.99 (OC)It will easily outrun the 3450 with OC but @ $10 more, I'd go 3570k
i5-3450 @ $199.99 (--)It is priced high with no overclock ability and lower performance, go with 3570k.

$100-average
------
fx-6300 @ $139.99 (OC)The best for its value/performance, outvalue and perform 4300 and 3220
fx-4300 @ $129.99 (OC)Good, but Upgrade to 6300 for $10
fx-4170 @ $119.99 (OC)Good, but Upgrade to 6300 for $20
i3-3220 @ $129.99 (--)If your an Intel fan and limited in money, your stuck, else upgrade to 3570k for $100 more or check out the stats on 6300 and consider it.

$100-below
------
APU A8 and below, or G series celeron Sandys. Both are good, but depending on budget, you'd likely take one over the other.

APU - if you aimed at under 100, obviously your on a budget. These little babies are integrated with 6xxx series HDs and will out perform any integrated gpu; btw they're called IPGs.

G-series - good if you want full die processing power. weak integrated gpu and evenly priced with the apus. If you plan on upgrading gpu's then its not too bad, but anything better than the llano's will likely cost you $100 more, and with that, your better off getting a stronger processor or simply sticking with the amd's apus. But its not bad. If you support Intel buy it.

Same can be said for 8350.

3570k - Good decision
6300 - Good decision
apu's/G-series: your pick, cheap either ways.

You get what you pay for; plus, what you researched for; plus, what you favor (Intel/AMD).
