Is 8320 same chip as 8350

[Hjfburch]

Hey,
I'm going to build a new pc with an amd fx processor, thinking 8320 or 6350 seeing as price is about the same. I would ideally like a faster clock speed but looking ahead 8 cores makes sense. I know I could get an 8350 and have both but it's more cash. So herein lies my question, are the 8320 and 8350 exactly the same chip with different out of the box clock speeds? And if I overclock a 8320 to 8350 speeds will it perform the same aside from no turbo boost and have same temp etc?
Thanks

Is 8320 same chip as 8350 - No, the 8350 is slightly different

And if I overclock a 8320 to 8350 speeds will it perform the same aside from no turbo boost and have same temp etc? Yes

Because of a higher binned chip speeds the 8350 can handle higher clock speeds better.

BUT you should go for the 8320 since the difference is negligible and they are basically the same if you O 8320, yet they are not the same chip.

It will perform the same at the same clocks, however as noted ...

Because of the testing and binning it will likely take more volts as you clock each higher. More volts = higher temps (99.99% of the time)

edit: I fergit ...

Buy whatever represents the 'best bargain' of the day --- either with a promo code or combo deal.

I snagged an FX-6350 with a Giga-Volt 970A -UD3P and 8GB of RAMs for $225 a few weeks ago.

Felt like I was stealin'

At the silicon level, I think that they are the same chip, physically. They come off the same wafer, are tested for performance, and binned, manufactured, packaged further accordingly. The difference is in the configuration of the on-chip software for clock speed and turbo-boost limits.
