Find something that is insanely rigged towards AMDs chips, I told you two times already and this is the third,find something run it on one core only and lets see.
Compared to its circa 2012 rivals (Vishera is a really old damn chip), an FX thrives in integer and multithreaded workloads. Video editing, rendering, encoding and number crunching/scientific calculations is what the server-derived FX is best suited
to do. These tasks -- the FX runs toe to toe with an Ivy Bridge. For gaming, the FX usually performs between the performance of a Nehalem to Ivy..... Depending on how the game was written/optimized.
Considering the FX-8350 debuted at $199.99 retail and the i7 3770K was priced at $315.00 -- the FX was a very compelling purchase
back in 2012. I definitely would not recommend a fresh AM3+ build now that it 2015, but if you inherited a
few AM3 parts -- it remains a solid offering. My overclocked FX-8350 wasn't quite enough for me last year when I started gaming in 1440p, which is why I'm running a 4790k now. But people greatly exaggerate the performance penalty of
running FX chips. They are much better than what many journalists would have you believe / expect.
