New microarchitecture, new level of performance

Piledriver microarchitecture, a tuned-up Bulldozer, has finally reached the flagship AMD FX processors (the new FX series processors are codenamed as Vishera) for improved performance and better energy-efficiency. Four “Piledriver” cores ensure rich, crisp video and seamless multitasking. The AMD Turbo Core technology pushes your core frequencies to the most when you need it most. To top it off, like all other AMD’s Black Edition processors, the new AMD FX 4-core Vishera processor black edition is unlocked for fabulous overclocking* capability. Great performance is not the only trick AMD has up their sleeve. Vishera processors are at a reasonable price point. (*AMD’s product warranty does not cover damage caused by overclocking even when overclocking is enabled via AMD Overdrive software.)

New Piledriver microarchitecture Piledriver microarchitecture is the second generation of AMD Bulldozer microarchitecture. The internal core structure has been modified for higher frequencies even without any changes in the manufacturing process. Piledriver has a more precise branch predictor and a larger instruction window with ISA extensions FMA3 and F16C. The execution units acquired an enhanced scheduler and learned to process individual instructions faster, such as integer and floating-point division. And Piledriver microarchitecture delivers higher power efficiency compared with Bulldozer microarchitecture.
Unlocked AMD FX processor with 4 Piledriver cores The native 4-core desktop processor ensures rich, crisp video and seamless multitasking. new Piledriver microarchitecture. 32 nanometer die shrink was designed to reduce leakage for improved efficiency, increased clock rate headroom and better thermals. The AMD unlocked technology offers more headroom for your overclocking (AMD’s product warranty does not cover damage caused by overclocking even when overclocking is enabled via AMD Overdrive software.).
AMD Turbo technology The AMD FX Processors come equipped with AMD Turbo CORE Technology, a performance boosting technology that helps increase performance on the applications that need it the most.
Amazing instruction capabilities Like Bulldozer, Piledriver has some amazing instruction capabilities. Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) increase parallelism tailored for scientific and 3D applications that use heavy floating point calculations. Floating Point Vector Multiply-Accumulate improves throughput and performance on many vector functions (integer and floating point). Advanced Encryption Standard noticeably increases performance on the latest encryption applications like TrueCrypt and benchmarks like PCMark.
AMD Hypertransport technology HyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link which helps reduce the number of buses in a system thus reducing system bottlenecks and enabling today's faster microprocessors to use system memory more efficiently in high-end multiprocessor systems.
Integrated DRAM Controller with AMD Memory Optimizer Technology AMD FX Vishera Processor features a high-bandwidth, low-latency integrated memory controller that supports faster and low voltage memories and provides new Pre-Fetcher improvements and direct communications to each core in Dual-Core module (APIC registers in each core).

Matthew 5/23/2013 11:40:28 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Best Price to Performance Pros: I bought this baby back towards mid April, it was on sale for like 100 dollars, so instead of the phenom i got this. I have a hyper 212 plus, my temp at a 4.2GHz overclock running prime95 for 9 hours the temps max out at 37 Celsius. Cons: It only has 4 cores, if you want to future proof your computer i recommend 6.

N/A 4/20/2013 2:23:48 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Good all around Pros: I was torn between this and the 6300, money was tight and this was on sale so it was my choice...it doesnt go above 35% even while gaming and browsing. Cons: Gets pretty hot, buy an aftermarket heat sink. Other Thoughts: Comes with a red fan which looks awful in my case but it runs like a champ just wish the heatsink was a bit better.

AtI letdown:( 4/20/2013 8:01:42 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great deal when on sale! Pros: This cpu on sale is a real deal. I mostly game and with this stock fx-4300 right from the start gives 2 to 3 more fps than with my overclocked fx-6100. Smoother and quicker starts with most other programs too. Cons: Not worth $129.99 when you can get a fx-6300 for a few bucks more. Other Thoughts: This cpu is a real & noticeable improvement over the first series of fx processors. Steamroller should be better yet but I will have to live with what I have for a long time. No more cash to spend :( Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
