FX-8320 vs. 8350

[Ethan WickedPlayer]

I am deciding which would be better. Getting an 8320 with the Hyper 212 EVO and overclocking or getting the 8350 and running stock. This is my first build and would like to know which is better.
Both pretty much cost the same, 8350 a few bucks cheaper.

They are the same CPU just clocked higher. However, the 8350 tends to get a bit better OC then the 8320.

But if you are getting a 212 evo with the 8320, definitely go this route as its cheaper, and will offer better performance and oc than a 8350 can achieve with stock cooling.

I said it costs about the same at the moment and a thought that just came to my mind, I could down the road get a better cooler and overclock the 8350

The fx 8350 has a newer architecture. It's also much easier to OC and you can easily get it to 4.5-4.7 with a 212 evo. The 8320 is a decent option but you can get much more performance out of the 8350.

Well the the difference in clocks varies by each chip. A 8320 might even get better clocks than a 8350, but a 8350 tends to get slightly better clocks. It just depends on if you win the silicon lottery. Id personally go with the 8320, as it will be almost the exact same as far as oc goes. 8350 only if you don't plan on overclocking.

They are the same architecture. The only difference is the 8350 is binned at a higher clock.

FX-8320 + Hyper 212 EVO.

8320 is bulldozer 8350 is piledriver.

Its similar kind of thing they did with the gpus IE: a 7950(8320) and a r9 280 (8350), 7950(8320) is clocked at 850mhz, while the r9 280(8350) is clocked at 1ghz, both are the same though, just higher clocks
