AMD Vishera FX-8350 Piledriver Benchmark (OBR)

Piledriver-Final-Result-635x668.png


EDIT: Misinterpreted the data.

If we assume full turbo throughout the tests, it's not a bad improvement, but I'd much rather have had 15% more single-threaded performance and 4% multithreaded. Piledriver is really starting to perform like a true 8-core processor, so we can finally end the argument as to whether or not AMD's Bulldozer architecture really has 8 cores.

Will the turbo even work when you oc the cpu like they did here? I don't like them having a 8300 and just calling it a 8350 with oc'ing it. Performance should be similar but it's a bit disingenuous.
 
AMD appears to have a tight rein on this release. No midnight meetings to set guiness records. I expect a modest but measurable improvement over Bulldozer.

It's up to AMD to earn our respect.

Hell they've earned my respect a long time ago.

Any company that can hang with another that's 10x the size and still compete, and win in many cases, is by far more impressive than the company with all those resources.

Then you have obviously never worked in a big company. Or said otherwise the bigger the more is wasted on useless management stuff and internal "political" conflicts. And that's pretty much an exponential and not a linear increase.

On Topic:

Well if those numbers are true it's again rather sad but looks like BD had a flaw in multi-threading since those numbers have increased. Sadly what AMD needs is better single-threaded performance.

They earned my respect but not my money. To earn my my money they have to sell a competitive CPU.

Multithreaded is due to higher base clocks.

He is especially testing fp performance which we know didn't change alot and 5% is better than nothing.

superPi? cine 10 and 11.5. (basically the same thing) and CPUmark99.

Luckily in most of those applications single thread performance is of little importance as they scale pretty well with threads.

Piledriver architecture has the best increases in integer performance..
Do we expect miracles? ofcourse not... but we already knew what we could expect the moment Bulldozer left the building... and untill they can be competitive with the process... bulldozer will stay only competitive in very few areas.
