Unlocked AMD FX 8150 CPU vs AMD FX 8350

[SoumyaHD]

Which one is the beast in overclocking, Can Intel processors come close in overclocking category ??

 

[IRONBATMAN]

Of course it's the FX-8350.

They should have the same overclocking ability, I would myself take the 8350 because of improved architecture.
Intels doesn't have anything that can garantuee a stable 5GHz, but GHz have little to say about actually performance.

Piledriver have a longer pipeline, and with a longer pipeline comes higher GHz, but wont actually have any performance improvement than one with a smaller pipeline and and lower GHz.

Haswell is a small lottery, when it comes to overclocking. You can get a good chips, which can have good overclocking ability, and then you can have a bad chip, which can have bad overclocking ability.

Both seem pretty equal when it comes to overclocking potential....the fx 8350 wins hands down in performance though....But the king of kings when it comes to overclocking is sandybridge....the 2500k/2600k/2700k are some of the if not the best cpus in history when it comes to overclocking..

Nonono, netburst was superior in the field of overclocking. The 10GHz is unbeatable 😉

Haha....plus it doubled up as a room heater too....😀

Sandybridge .........OH but vmN is saying 8350 has improved architecture ??

He was comparing it to 8150.....Sandybridge has much better IPC and slightly higher OC potential than piledriver.....

83x0 is running on piledriver, meanwhile 81x0 is running on bulldozer.
Piledriver is bulldozers successor, which came which improvement where bulldozer failed.
Generally piledriver is far better than bulldozer.

+1

I am using Piledriver architecture , Yeah baby.......But my board is primitive and has less PCIe lanes than of 990FX MOBO and it is not that advanced in electrical.

I love AMD in affordability, the shopkeeper was insisting me to take Intel core i5 3570k processor But I had go for FX 8350 cos it has 8 cores ,and theprice is also less. Is it a good choice .....??

Depends on what you use your PC for...if you are into stuff that uses a lot of cores (video editing, or games like BF3/4 or crisis 3) then the 8350 wins out....but in most games and applications (which use no more than 4 threads) the 3570k is faster..

But in day to day use, I bet you wont be able to tell them apart...

I myself wouldn't change out a 8320/50 to a 3570k.
