I decided to write this with my very limited knowledge to enlighten few facts about this processor... (1) this is a octa-core ,quad module processor. (2) the mechanism of action of this n other new module based (read new architecture by AMD) is very different than tat of Intel. The Piledriver architecture has bumped up the multithreaded performance of this proc compara...

AMD FX 8350 beats the intel i5 3570k even some i7 also in all benchmarks except single threaded app that doesn't matter.

Note :
-->Both the PS4 and Xbox One have AMD Jaguar-based CPU NOT Intel
-->Number of Cores/Threads: 8/8
-->Sony and Microsoft are not fools, they picked AMD over Intel LOL ;)
-->Crysis 3 and Metro Series are Play Better on 6-8 Core CPUs.
-->Cheaper than Intel.

So If You are Gamer, Go for it AMD RoXxx Otherwise go for Intel.

(The World is ready for future gaming with AMD)

Very good processor good for next gen games like Battlefield 4 (get 60 plus fps at high settings in multiplayer mode 64 players ), Watch Dogs ( get 50 plus fps at high) etc.
For full performance u need to unpark cores. It is a complete beast. Thank u flipkart for timely delivery.


Cons
it goes to 80 degrees while playing bf4 watch dogs u need to get separate cooler to cool it down normal stock cooler is not that effective.

My PC specs
AMD FX 8350
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 (2x4) GB
Nvidia GTX ...

Do not compare the FX 8350 with the APU A10 - 6800k.
They are catered for different people.
The APU is better for gaming on a budget .Sure it can handle games @ 720p with medium details , but FX is in completely different league.
FX's 8 core are better for multi-tasking , I mean really heavy multi-tasking jobs. { gaming + photoshop + video conversion etc. }
Pair the 8350 with a good Graphic card { Radeon 7790,7850 } & your good to go.
Also , upcoming games will be taking advantage of the 8350...

I am using this processor with corsair H100i liquid cooler, processor heats up a lot,if not liquid cooler, at lest use air cooler like "cooler master HYPER 212 evo", because stock heat sink/cooler is useless and makes noise, good multi threaded performance but not that good the single threaded performance..over all a good processor.. special thanks to flipkart for speedy delivery and selecting me as lucky winner for 10,000/- gift voucher as i had purchased this product during that offer :)

this processor is great but why indians prefer intel is because intel is very safe and does not heat up much and because of that indians dont buy it.And yes if a person says to pc builder they will say no amd it is not safe.It heats up and then everything is burned. They say it is because of climate is very hot.I said AMD IS WHAT I WANT.bought it very nice processor

all the games run without lag !!! and the extraction is so fast !! buy this and be future safe !!! beats intel !!! this processor is the best and super cool!!! buy a good cooler with it to be safe !!! the cm tx3 evo is a good one or the antec h20

Hello this is not a waste of money better u by over amd fx 8150 because this is a revision of fx processor and this processor gain about 10-15% improvement in gaming so, better u buy this processor
At the same time, if we dug a little deeper, we would see that processors with Piledriver microarchitecture are not that progressive after all. In fact, all the improvements are more of a superficial nature, and the advantage of the new FX-8350 over the FX-8150 can be explained by a combination of...

This one is perfect processor if you are on linux/graphic/gaming/virtualization thing.This is the best cpu for multi-taskers. i have like 10-11 programs running and everything is butter smooth, no lags nothing. Always i have 2-3 VM's running 24x7.

But still getting i5 4690k is also a good alternative.

If you are buying AMD then don't forget to buy a good 99fx board and a good cooler like cm evo 212 or corsair h100. Then you will never have heating issues. If you are buying cheap mobo and i...

Very Good Processor by AMD, FX 8350 is the best 8 Core CPU which is very powerful and can handle any amount of work load thrust upon it.
The Cooling system provided by AMD which the Stock Air cooler is good. But I prefer to use an Aftermarket 3rd party cooler to keep this Beast cool.
Lastly Flipkart's Seller WS Retail is very generous to Provide the Product with best packaging and handling, and also the Delivery was within a day, actually within 24Hrs.... and the Price was Very Very Comfortable.
