Hey all, wasn't sure where to put this. I didn't see a designated forum or thread for deals. I dunno.
So I was about to buy the 8320 when I found this deal on Amazon. FX-8350 at the same price as the 8320. Only today left, though, so good luck. Just wanted someone else out there to get in on this deal.
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-8-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YUF6/ref=sr_1_2?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1416505923&sr=1-2
It is 175 bucks to me.
The deal ended yesterday as the post says unfortunately.
If the memory bandwidth was higher on the phenom I'd probably go back. 6 cores > 8 fakes cores any day.
If you can get a FX8320 or 8350 for $120 buy it that is a great deal. Just make sure you get a decent Asus 990fx board to run it.
Fake cores? So much face palm. They are real cores. They just share a decoder. But they can act fairly independently. Hyperthreading on the i7 is fake cores.
just snagged an 8320 for $99 on black friday
I got an 8320e to replace my 4300 and games run a little better now. The game I noticed the most of an improvement in is minecraft, chunk loading is faster now.
Alot faster at loading games? Add that to the list of things alots are good at.
