AMD can do magic? Visit our in-depth Vishera pins.

On paper, the AMD Bulldozer microarchitecture always sounded like a mean machine, green. When he landed last year, however, as Zambezi processor (also known as the FX-8150), which was almost as fast as a bulldozer.

AMD

not give up and roll into a ball. The company returned to work polishing the chip in the new AMD FX-8350 FX "

Vishera

." The chip could be like a river Zambezi, but it has a better predictor branch better programmer, large L1 translation lookaside buffer and instructions FMA3 further improvements F16C, L2, among many other changes.

Vishera looks the same externally and good news. Will you use the same AM3 + socket too

The best feature is its backward compatibility Zambezi. Zambezi should work with most, if not all AM3 + boards with an updated BIOS and AMD chips promises future work with it too.

To see how the batteries until Zambezi, we used the same Asus Crosshair V board, we tested Bulldozer with more than a year and is equipped with a GeForce GTX 580, 8GB Dual Channel DDR3/1600, OCZ Vertex 3 and Windows 8. Why Windows 8? One question that arises with the original Bulldozer chip programmer Windows 7 does not know how to deal with the multi-core shared shovel.

chip comparison, dusted off our old FX-8150 and implemented a system almost identical Intel Intel Core i5 3570K-Asus P8Z77 is a V-Premium and Windows 8 also. Why 3570K? AMD chip is used as a reference for the FX-8350 and, frankly, our recommendation for the sweet spot of today's computers.

result? Firstly, FX-8150 is still slow. I could hardly compete with the Core i5-2500K and last year he took his chin in the test here almost all the Ivy Bridge Core i5-3570K base. In fact, it was so slow in Premiere Pro CS6 our encoding we had to re-run the tests, Intel and FX-8150 because I could not believe it.

Vishera look

not. Deny the power of the individual cores Ivy Bridge if we ran Cinebench 10 on a single core FX processors and sacrificed so much Ivy Bridge. In several hearts of gaming benchmarks, more efficient Intel also put on top, but we saw parts FX unexpected halo graphics department which are generally all the same when it is used.How GPU FX-8350? Much better. In fact, I would say that the FX-8350 is very competitive compared to 3570K in highly threaded tasks and provides significant performance improvements over the FX-8150. Take, for example, Premiere Pro CS6 our reference. Do not delete the 3570K, but reduces the encoding time by half on the FX-8150. In other tests to have Ivy Bridge.

What is recommended? If your tasks are mainly limited to games and tasks that can operate eight cores, Intel has the advantage. However, if you're transcoding video or 3D rendering (except for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6), the new FX-8350 should be your choice. It has a road is longer and gives better performance in multi-threaded applications. What should be added, however, that the difference in performance is probably not as good as AMD fans would have expected given the clock and the fundamental difference between the number FX-8350 and Core i5 3570K-. However, these days AMD, a draw is probably good news given against Intel cores best to date.

For best diving on how you made Vishera, click to highlight our individual reference.

The previous version lets you run Cinebench 3D rendering engine across all available CPU threads or just one. We chose here to see the effectiveness of each "base" in the new FX-8350. Vishera has a slight advantage over AMD Bulldozer, which says that half due to higher clocks, and half of the improvements under the hood. The bad news, but it is quite clear on this graph. Despite a slight decline clocks, core Intel Ivy Bridge is part of the whole and Bulldozer Vishera.

Winner: Ivy Bridge

To measure the performance of the processor when all threads are used, we find using the renderer Cinebench 11.5 by Maxon circuits. The Bulldozer eight core FX-8150 is trampled by the Core i5-3570K quad core Vishera revenge, but to excel in the Intel chip to a good pace.

Winner: Vishera

The benchmark POV-Ray Raytracer is a freeware which has its roots in the Amiga. The benchmark uses all available threads in a CPU and the advantage of going eight-core chips. And no wonder she does. Vishera she won by a wide margin, although with more than four cores behind, Ivy Bridge is not too bad.

Winner: Vishera

What surprised us a little, but aced Vishera Bulldozer and Ivy Bridge chip. Since we used the same GeForce 580 with the same drivers for all tests, do not expect much difference.

Winner: Vishera and Bulldozer

When we saw the result of physical test in 3DMark 11, we were even more confused. The physical test in 3DMark11 is the most time on the processor cores and earn more overall. But here we see the Intel in advance, even a little, along with AMD processors.

Winner: Ivy Bridge

Our chef scraper became even more strange when we saw the results of 3DMark 11 graphics. Again, we used a set of GeForce GTX 580 has been verified ran at the same speed on each platform and the same drivers. CPU in clashes last five or six years, which usually leads to the same partition graph because it is all about the GPU. Indeed, although we have noted, generally reported no graphic 3DMark11 score because they are almost the same. However, both AMD chips have a distinct advantage. If we had used an ATI card, it could be attributed to the CPU performance optimizations secret sauce of equipment and graphics, but we used an Nvidia graphics card. And we know that Nvidia and ATI as they like Tupac and Biggie. Frankly, we have no idea why there is so much difference, but you can better drivers and / or better performance 990X chipset PCIe are the reason.
