AMD introduced the new performance desktop processors based on the architecture of Piledriver, also known under the code name AMD Vishera. These chips are to replace the devices Zambezi (architecture Bulldozer).
The new processors AMD Vishera are manufactured on rates of 32-nanometer manufacturing process, and continue to use your existing CPU socket Socket AM3 +. Chips can be 4, 6 or 8 cores. Also available on-chip cache memory of the first, second and third levels, and the controller of memory standard and DDR3 (supported by work memory with a frequency of 1333 MHz to 1866 MHz). AMD Vishera is not using graphics core processors. Total number of transistors stated at 1.2 billion devices supports the ability to dynamically increase the frequency. In this case, all the chips contain Vishera unlocked multiplier, which will facilitate the process of overclocking enthusiasts. These processors are designed for use with chipset AMD 990FX, 990X and 970 in conjunction with the south bridge SB950. According to the manufacturer, processor AMD Vishera show performance gains of 15% compared with the previous processors Zambezi.
AMD originally introduced four processors in the series of AMD Vishera. The basic and most affordable solution is among the novelties of 4-core model AMD FX-4300. It runs at the nominal 3.8 GHz (4.0 GHz high frequency), contains 4 MB of cache in the second level, and 4 MB cache in the third level. The value of the power dissipation is 95 watts. The price of this decision is set at $ 122. On other hand AMD FX-6300 device has six cores, 6 MB cache in the second level, and 8 MB cache in the third level. In this case, the base is the frequency of 3.5 GHz, and Turbo mode, the chip is capable of operating at a frequency of 4.1 GHz. A TDP remained at the same level of 95 watts. The price of this model is $ 132. Last and most powerful, 8-core FX-8320 has on-board 8 MB cache in the second level and 8 MB cache in the third level. It can operate on Standard operating frequency of 3.5 GHz, high frequency – 4.0 GHz. Through the use of additional cores power dissipation index increased to 125 watts. In this case, the price is $ 169. The most productive of new products is the 8-core model FX-8350. Chip FX-8320, it differs only in high frequencies: 4.0 GHz base frequency, high frequency – 4.2 GHz. Other characteristics are identical. The price of this model is set at a value of $ 195.
This was all about the arrivals in AMD Vishera processors including AMD FX-4300, AMD FX-6300, AMD FX-8320 and AMD FX-8350.
