Vishera FX8350 - Overclock record

[guskline]

What I mean't is the power scaling. When you OC bulldozer past 4.2ghz it seems to just increase in large increments. I hope Piledriver's power consumption scales better with clocks.

Agreed.

Yesnthat's stock OC it to the same 4.6Ghz then we will have a fair comparison.

I realized that after I posted; earlier in the thread the OP had his 8350 running @ 4600.

Initially I didn't notice that he had gone back to stock when he measured it.

Greenlepricon: Since I own a Kill-O-meter I hooked it up to rig 3 below with the 8150 OC'd to 4.6Ghz (20 x 230 maula 1.425 vcore). I'm a cooling freak so I have the rig in a CM HAF 912 ( should have got the bigger case! I have a 200mm intake fan a side 120 mm intake fan, a 2700rpm 120 mm exhaust (panaflo) and I use a Corsair H100 at performance mode to cool the CPU. When running Intel Burn test(max stress on cpu) my rig less the monitor draws as much as 429watts - that all fans running max. At idle as I'm typing this its 146 watts. Bottomline? To get the 8150 to perform well you have to OC and use some power. I think the PileDriver will improve on that but to what degree is anyone's guess. From what has been leaked so far it will improve performance @7% to as high as 15%. I think based on the architecture limitations, 7% seems more likely. The real question will be power usuage. As they say " the jury is still out".

That's quite a bit. Just out of curiosity what do your Intel rigs draw? I want to overclock my 8120 past the 3.7GHz I'm getting on stock voltage, but I don't think my psu could handle it with my 7950 Anyway that's a side note. I've read that they advertise up to a 15% increase and hopefully that really is enough to close some gaps between them and Intel. Power isn't too big an issue for me as long as I can have the savings in the price difference from two products, but performance is really nice to have too.

Reminds me as well of IBM and their 250Ghz transistors. Just a shame again that its only a handful that can do it. And not 1-2 billion together.

Free PR to fool the unknowing.

The unknowning doesnt know that 100Ghz transistors are required
for processors working close to 5Ghz , as the higher clocked CPUs
from AMD/IBM/Intel...:biggrin:
