It has a very good price to performance ratio. Cinebench 11.5 scores CPU : 6 Pts
. This is a pure 8 core processor. This a 4 module / 8 core processor ( 1module/2 core )

In windows task manager, cinebench, sandra lite , all of them will show 4 core 8 thread
But in actual it is an 8 Core CPU, just to cut corners, AMD has made changes to the architecture and within 1 module it contains 2 cores. in which both cores share the resources aloted to that single module. Due to this reason the Single ...

So, this review is going to be thorough and fully informative about the FX-8320 (and FX-8350 by extension), and some clarification regarding the myths and stories going on regarding these processors.

The AMD FX-8320 is essentially a factory underclocked version of the AMD 2012 flagship, the 8350. This chip runs at about half a GHz lower a clock rate than the 8350. It also happens to be a good 3000 rupees cheaper, and this does have its implications, but overall, it's good value for money.

I did a lot of research and finally agreed to buy this processor along with a couple of other components to upgrade my gaming rig. Let me tell you I am completely satisfied. You will always be happy with this processor!

I have a 3570k and this is cheaper and better in every way. Because, it is right after 3920, 8350 in rendering benchmarks.
If you have a 10k budget for CPU please please go for this.
Awesome packaging too.
Budget friendly.

There is a simple difference between Intel & AMD :-
i3s, 5s & i7s consume less power and mostly remain cool
while
FXs heat up during extensive use like gaming.

All the technical jargon about Core architecture, single core performance etc is pointless.
Performance - Same
Price Difference - Substantial
Oh yeah, AMD could do with better marketing!

If you are a hardcore gamer or keep PC running all day, you could do well to invest in a liquid cooler.

I feel empowered to use this. Its pric...

stunning performence and better than fx 8150 as fx 8320 is the second generation of fx or buldozor series best performence in its budjet. Though the benchmarking result is less compared to i5 but in actual it performs better than intel i5

I GOT PAPER BOX OF CPU MANUFACTURE IN APRIL 2014 WITH PRE APLLIED THERMAL PASTE ON CPU.
I BOUGT THIS CPU FOR WATCH DOGS AND OTHER CPU DEMANDING GAMES LIKE CRYSIS 3 AS4 NEED FOR SPEED RIVALS ETC AND PERFORMS VERY WELL .
CPU USAGE IS NOT GOES ABOVE 40%.IN CRYSIS 3 60 % MAX.IT HAS GOOD MULTITASKING.

MY SPECS
FX 8320
ASUS M5A78L-M USB3
CORSAIR VS 650
8GB DDR3
1TB HDD
SAPPHIRE 5770 1 GB GDDR5

PROS-

1. VIDEO EDITING GAMING MULTITASKING IS VERY FAST

2. 8 CORES ARE MORE FUTURE PROOF FOR GAMING.

this processor is very good in performance, and as AMD is infamous for its heat up problem....let's just say AMD had a overcome on it, there is very big and strong fan upon the processor which is just doing very fine work....i never got more than 41 degree temprature till now....and maximum temperature limitation is 80-85 degree

Performance- if we talk about performance, I'm not at all disappointed, the is one extreme processor, it has 8 core that's why working simultaneously on different p...

Worth it .. i challenge any intel fan boys to reach this performance at this money
cos no intel cpus even come close to the performance of FX in the same or even higher price bracket

but if ur not builting a gamming or video editing rig then go for intel .. tat thing is pretty good energy saving

I brought this cpu from a local shop with 400\- extra, it's been 4th week and I'm still happy with this one... I don't do any professional work with the processor, I just use it for Gaming.. It works great. Now time, I saw that limited games need power of processor like BF3, BF4, COD Ghosts etc... But next generation games will take a heavy of Cpu... So 8 core processor is a peace.....
I can't say nothing about overclocking performance because I'm not a fan of overclocking and I don't do that...
