AMD first released its FX series chips last year with the FX “Bulldozer” series. Some of us were not too happy with the chip, because the performance did not live up to expectations. Despite (and because of) that hiccup, we are very excited to see what their “new tech” can bring to the table. Today we are going to look at the new FX-8350 series chip, code-named “Vishera,” to see what it can do. AMD has reported that the new line of FX series chips will bring a 15% increase in performance from the previous series. We look forward to putting this claim to the test. The new line of FX-8350 series chip is made to compete with its rival, the Intel Core i5 3570k. Our intention is to show you how it stacks up against just that, and who is still wearing the performance crown at the end. Let’s move on here and take a look at the new Piledriver Architecture.
