The 8 core AMD FX-8350 has a geekbench multicore score of between 2700-3000 which is same as a modern day AMD Ryzen 3 2200G or i3-8100T. Can it handle browsing, light multitasking , MS Office, Chrome with 10 tabs? Sure. No one want's to know that. I think he wanted to show the limit of this processor in terms of bottlenecking modern GPU if someone wants to continue with this processor for a year or two more.

AMD was ahead of it's time with the FX, problem was they didn't *quite* hit the target. The IPC wasn't quite on par with the Core 2, clocks made up the difference but by then they were competing with Ivy Bridge. They stopped developing the arch and then came Haswell which smacked the FX pretty hard. Had they kept progressing the FX line as originally intended it would have been similar to the Zen cores, quite competitive. A lot of the architectural design plans were fairly similar. Instead they wiped the board and made a new arch using a lot of those planned features.

Problem is that even when you choose to optimise your game for this one particular Cpu, you are going to have a really bad time because it will require you to do so on a really low level. The CPU has 8 true cores but that's just it. Nothing else. Every other core shares all resources with neighbouring core including bus, FPU, L1 and L2 cache, which results in severe bottleneck when one of the cores in the pair gets fully loaded, leaving the other with no resources to work with. You can overcome this problem by overclocking FSB but it still barely allows the CPU to utilize it's full potential.

Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years. It does not really have to do with computing power, but rather chip real estate. How many of those transistors can you cram onto a little chip and still have them work properly. It should also be noted that "Moore's Law" has not been accurate for more than 10 years. That is to say, the doubling of transistor count has not happened every two years, but the doubling of processor power has been right about on point.

SKill DDR3 for $79...I only recently put it all together into a system. I am not a hardcore gamer but this thing rocks for me. I have been using a FX4350 and Quadro K6 for at least 6 or 7 years with 8 GB of DDR3. For what I paid I have no room to complain. So my old computer will be on my electronics workbench and my new machine is my main computer. Most games I play at 1080P give me 65fps to 200fps. Movies look great and all my normal productivity utilities all run great. I understand at the current prices no one should buy one but if you get one cheap or already have one nothing wrong with the FX8350 either.

Yeah those CPUs are a meme. At launch even dual core i3's beat them outright at gaming. Now the same dual core i3's wheeze and drop frames in Witcher 3 while higher core count FXes go "Lawl" and keep going. Games becoming increasingly multi threaded gave those CPUs a new breath of life while the dual core i3's that were easily on par or superior at the time quickly became almost totally obsolete. Some games even refuse to launch on a dual core now or become very buggy (The Division **Cough**) when ran on one.

The FX chip still handled most things quite well considering and it managed to play many modern games with little issue even though it was paired with a Radeon HD 6970 (it still offered higher frame rates than my Ryzen 5 2400G using the IGP but the drivers were extremely outdated). The FX chips were indeed fine wine as more games these days are making use of more cores but the IPC still holds it back.

Picked up an FX 8350 over an Ivy Bridge i5 in early 2014. Looking for best value for money. I regretted that decision until 2016. That was when I purchased an RX 480 8GB and 120GB SSD, and realized I had an XBOX One X killer. I was so impressed with how well the chip performed, and that was on a Gigabyte 970 series mobo with average VRMs and stock cooling. Would still overclock to 4.4 all core which was more than enough for what I was playing at that time. I still have it today and it's on an Asus 990x and overclocks to 4.8 ghz on a Cryorig H7. simply amazing that I get very close to the ivy bridge single core (i5 3570/i7 3770) and it crushes the i5 and meets the i7 in mutli core.

That said its one saving grace it was easier to upgrade as just bought a used i7 n dropped it in n job done were as fx 8350 needed motherboard ram and cpu witch cost fair bit more but did get way bigger jump as well

a 10-20% improvement would still mean it'd end up being behind sandy bridge (2nd gen Intel) in single thread. The 2500K was 40% faster than a 8350 clock for clock in single thread.

To clarify, the major issue with AMD's FX series was the shared scheduler between the core modules, which was a significant performance bottleneck, and also not exactly being a real complete core on their own without the shared core. So it's accurate to say the CPU has 8 core modules, but not 8 cores. It's more like a bizarre kind of hardware SMT, but it was a major misstep by AMD and didn't result in the performance wins they were expecting.

thank you for taking the time to upload this, just dusted off an old fx8350, will probably just swap in a newer GPU

One of my favorite computers I own is an FX 8370 in a GA-970A-DS3P with 4x4gb DDR3-1866 and a Gigabyte RX 570 8gb and 3 random old low capacity SSDs in a Thermaltake V3 Black and an EVGA 500B. It's like the classic DDR3 build. I don't use it much anymore, but it's all set up in my spare bedroom on a desk with a nice dual display setup like a shrine to the 2010s. The system started out life with an HD 7850 and an FX 6100, it got upgraded off Ebay later in life.

I would love to see you get a older i5 and compare them in gaming

The i5 will still be faster, or even better a old i7..
@Tom24044 жыл бұрын
The i5 was faster in games at the time. I think with recent games after 2018 the FX might be faster in some situations due to it's higher core count.
@HD-dp1pr4 жыл бұрын
@@sebastian_hakansson78 you have to remember that every game benchmarked pushed the cpu more than 50 percent, that's four cores or more being used and the i5 doesn't have enough threads to preform better in certain games. Also lets not talk about running background tasks will gaming because that will cause fps issues

Sebastian Hakansson you are really Sebastian🤦♂️This is isn’t 2012 anymore. This process was built for future proof. Now it’s faster due to multi core optimization in games. This was said many years ago and people didn’t believe it. Eat this now. 😂

@@HD-dp1pr an AMD FX core is way slower than an i5 core, even beeing clocked 1.5GHz faster. So saying an i5 will only have 50% of the power because it only has half the cores is wrong. Also not every programm optimized for many cores is able to take advantage of the AMD FX because it doesn't use 8 traditional cores, but 4 modules with 2 cores each. Those 2 cores on a module share some parts limiting their performance.

My guess is that those CPUs are so expensive because they overclock like no other CPU. The highest clock ever reached was on an 8150 as far as I rememver and der8auer made a video with an 8350 that was able to clock at 8GHz. But that's only a guess, maybe there's an usecase where those CPUs are worth every penny that's elusive to us.

@@philscomputerlab I think it depends on your country. I just checked and ebay Germany has more offers for FX CPUs than Intel from that era. The FX are pretty much priced 20€ higher than their Intel counter part, except the 9590, which goes for another 30 more than the others.
