AMD "Vishera" FX-Series CPU Specifications Confirmed
A leaked AMD document for retail partners spelled out specifications of the first three FX "Vishera" processors by AMD. The new CPUs incorporate AMD's "Piledriver" architecture, and much like the first-generation "Zambezi" chips, will launch as one each of eight-core, six-core, and four-core chips. The eight-core FX-8350 is confirmed to ship with 4.00 GHz nominal clock speed, with 4.20 GHz TurboCore speed. The six-core FX-6300 ships with 3.50 GHz nominal, and 4.10 GHz TurboCore speed. The quad-core FX-4320, on the other hand, ships with the same clock speeds as the FX-8350. In addition, the document confirmed clock speeds of several socket FM2 A-series APUs, such as the A10-5700 and the A8-5500.

Obviously AMD has something planned for Steamroller. There's been Major Architectural changes versus Piledriver. Piledriver may have fixed a lot of Bulldozer's issues by way of tweaks and latencies, but it is Steamroller that will bring major performance improvements from what has been said as of late.
Interesting times for AMD :D
AMD is really good at sticking with long term compatibility. But of course it's all speculation in relation to how AMD's past long term socket support.
*crosses fingers for AM3+ for Steamroller*
They should leave AM3+ behind but i will not be surprised if AMD will release SR on AM3+.
Who said AMD doesn't have anything good to offer via performance desktop CPU's. How about the best they can currently offer, such as the FX 8150, 8120, and a bunch of PII's lying around. They hold great price/performance and can do anything you throw at them including gaming.
Your logic is flawed but you do have a right to your opinion. AMD should stick with AM3+ up until Steamroller, then move onto a different socket for Excavator.
AMD made some mistakes with the Bulldozer Design which still needs a lot of refining. But nevertheless for now, they are alive and kicking when plugged into a compatible mobo:D
Anyhow let's chew on this:news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-s-Steamroller-To-Be-Faster-than-Intel-Haswell-289980.shtml
But don't worry, I am sure they aren't concerned, they plan on never making another better performing chip anytime in the future.
idk if steamroller supports ddr3 but in event it does along with 970 chipset that cpu is replacing then phii in my bros machine and a hd 8 or 9 series gpu is going in with ram topped at 32GB.
The machine has 8Gb in it already.
"Jackhammer" would've been fitting for Bulldozer, IMO.
:roll: Uh-oh...
Reminds me of this.
I think it's safe to expect performance progression anywhere between -5% to n%.
:p
You have allot of chewing to do. LoL
So i don't see how that will work out. Only time will tell.
