Just got an FX8300 Black edition today.

So if this is truly NOT an 8 core CPU with only 4 cores and 4 FPU's then that my friends is FALSE addvertising and AMD should be sued for this!

Few months ago there was news of a Class Action lawsuit about this.
Not heard anything lately ( it will probably be dismissed )
Of Course if not you might get some money but i would not hold my breath or anything else

you may want to fact check before you call other people ignorant

its 61 or 62 on the core 70 or 72 on the package depending on the stepping. there's a few degrees of conservative engineering there WHEN AT stock voltage

WHEN you go above that and thermal stability becomes a real problem the power consumption and heat output jump by lightyears when you start raising voltage or even just trying to run all 4 CCX's at full boost clocks something people like to ignore because hey it does 4Gigamahhurz ... on effectively two cores try it with all 4 you are headed for chernobyl

they throttle into the ground when the core hits 65 or so depending on the voltage/load/board

working fine does not mean working good. my i5 2500 works fine but that doesn't mean I would recommend building a new system around one

you can not deny that the FX platform was widely regarded as a failure by both users and enthusiasts.

nobody bought them nobody wants them they fall on there face in 70% of applications. because as you said nobody wants to code for 6+ threads or code around funky SMT implementations. and AMD's is a nightmare to code around because they cut corners in terms of execution resources because cost and die space

Your right and all but warecooled as he says they don't throttle, and since i game at 4k I can assure you their weaknesses are both overstated and easy to sidestep and im not talking about with a massive Oc ,they do use a bit of power though, and It's certain they can put some heat out.


On the core count ,the OS and taskmanager rule imho and on all 5 FX rigs i built it shows the right number of execution cores ie 8 atm on a 8350.

WTF are you talking about? You are just sandbagging because your i5 gets eaten up by my 100 dollar chip and $160 dollar total cost! LOL!
They sure sold a lot of them and from the looks of it still are selling them so I think you have a bias that is unjustified.

they aren't selling much of them at all its why you see so many still in stock ;P

id put my i5 against that chip in any thread for thread benchmark you want

you wanna race bro ill race you for pinks

https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13775269

my i5 which is older uses less power and has half the cores will still out game bench that chip any day of the week

LOL you is a wack sucker lol.
Once I get the stuff then yes I will race you anyday of the weak hell lets go with my Ryzen3 1300X think you wanta try that Qaud out with that puny i5? Yeah I bet NOT!

ima run cinebeach right now i am smoke you like a dodge neon at at a drag strip ...

@OneMoar
Yeah lets see that i5 beat that CPU score.

$160 dollar system SMOKING you at Price performance EVER TIME!

I beg to differ on the ALL game bench front.
Could maybe do apples to apples on the gpu too since I've a 1060 and vega in my main rig.

Post up the score. I am waiting.

Watch he will photo shop it. LOL.

LOL you fail to see the entire picture still. In time my FX setup will eat your i5 for breakfast! You still don't get it your "scores" are at your computer peak performance you are tapped out at the MAX! I have yet to even OC! LMFAO! It is running at 3.3-3.7Ghz STOCK Speed! And I have 4GB of CHEEP RAM! LOL So you see you are just WRONG on every level!
Oh and lets not forget the fact that I have a HD5870 video card LOL Still not seeing the BIG picture are you?

YOU HAVE FAILED!

Is there a point to this thread?

I don't really know what is trying to be compared here, but in more benchmarks than not my low power i7 6700t beats the fx you have.

The chip is garbage, the platform didn't have anything to write how about on it either.

I have a full FX9370 build sitting in the garage. TEC cooled, does 5ghz, on a crosshair board. Has some of the better ddr3 for the platform etc. It sits in the garage and collects dust. A relic of the times.

I'd argue it's both fractionally enlightening and definitely entertaining .
Even your comment struck at just the perfect moment and tone

WOW that sucks. Too bad I like it seems to be a nice platform. Can I have it? Trade for it? OMG I need RAM BAD!
I guess that some are more into getting the best and only the best of the best. some just have fun getting more bang for the buck, I am the later kind.

Yes there is a point to my thread I just got this FX 8300 CPU like TPU said to and now I am telling about it. as far as the sandbaggers and negative Nellie's talking trash about it. I LOVE it! And thank TPU's Members for helping me find a good CPU for a GOOD MB. If that is hard to accept then what are we here for??????

Your being excessive of course your brand new platforms better but at 4k gaming, not much

RIGHT? I do not even have a 4k TV or monitor I can't afford one not to mention a video card set for 4k!
Still can't see that this 160 dollar setup is worth at least that? Then why the hell don't they GIVE the stuff away at the store! BECAUSE THEY STILL SELL! PEOPLE STILL BUY THEM USE THEM AND WANT THEM??? Maybe?

 

[OneMoar]

because we all know that trickson is going to be doing 4k runs of plants vrs zombies on a 1050 ...
at this point this is just savagery Wb @trickson
we are done here folks ./thread

Maybe in about 3 years when the 4K monitors and tv's price comes down to 200 bucks! I can't even see in 4K what the heck do I need to play a game at 4K? My vision is like bad bifocals and all and still can't see.

Thread served its purpose then.
