AMD has introduced a new processor this season codenamed Zambezi.This product is launched with an aim to provide best performance in almost every application with lower cost.
The name of the processor is, the Great AMD FX-8350" with 8 Cores!!!
Now let us see all the technical details of this CPU:
Maximum Watt Rating: 125 Watts (It's Almost 2x the power utilized by current Mid-Range processors.)
Socket Needed on Motherboard: AM3+ (942)
Instruction Sets Supported: MMX(+), AVX, XOP, AES, AMD-V, x64, x86, SSE (1, 2, 3, 3S, 4.1, 4.2, 4A)
Clock Speed: 4210.71 MHz (4.2 GHz)
Multiplier: x21.0
Bus Speed: 200.5 MHz
FSB: 2606.6 MHz
Cache:
Level 1 (L1) Data: 8 x 16 KB, 4 way
Level 1 (L1) Inst: 4 x 64 KB, 2 way
Level 2 (L2): 4 x 2048 KB, 16 way
Level 3 (L3): 8 MB, 64 way
Cores: 8
Threads: 8 (Multi-Threading)
The processor is available in a decent price tag of $200 which is pretty cheap for all the powerful features it is offering. One of the best thing a collegelib member can do is over clock it up to 8 GHz! This is a world record but will drain your electricity like water on those speeds. Processor also provides power on-demand feature which means when you are playing a game, It will automatically run at full 4.2 GHz speed + 125 Watts and while doing light stuffs like browsing web, It will switch to 800 MHz speed and 20 - 30 Watts for saving power.
