AMD FX-8350 vs AMD FX-8150
Last updated:
Summary
The AMD FX-8350 and AMD FX-8150 are desktop processors for the AM3+ platform, designed for users seeking cost-effective multicore performance.
Both CPUs are manufactured by AMD using a 32nm process. The FX-8350 utilizes the Vishera architecture (an evolution of Bulldozer), while the FX-8150 is based on Bulldozer. Both have 8 cores, 8 MB of Level-3 cache, and 30 GB/s memory bandwidth. The AMD FX-8350 shows over 10 percent higher single-core performance than the AMD FX-8150 (thanks to the Vishera architecture).
Data for the FX-8150's multicore performance is lacking; however, the FX-8350 demonstrates solid multicore capability. For gaming, the AMD FX-8350 is the better choice. Its superior single-core performance and Vishera architecture enable smoother execution. TDP values are missing.
Both processors are known for high power consumption; adequate cooling is essential. Discontinued models, both CPUs are only available on the used market. Their price-performance ratio is low for modern systems, but relevant for upgrading older AM3+ systems. Thanks to the Vishera architecture, the FX-8350 offers higher overall performance, especially in single-core tasks.
For AM3+ system upgrades, the FX-8350 is more powerful.
