AMD FX-8320
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD FX-8320 was a remarkable processor for many users in its time. It was based on the Vishera architecture, which further developed AMD's Bulldozer design. With its eight cores, it offered a solid foundation for multithreading applications. This was a clear advantage for true multitasking at the time.

Manufactured using the 32-nanometer process, this chip had a considerable 8 MB Level-3 cache. A memory bandwidth of up to 30 GB/s supported data processing. For many users, the AMD FX-8320 was an attractive and accessible option. Those who valued many processing cores found a good offer here. We remember how its multi-core performance was convincing in certain scenarios.

The possibility of overclocking was also very interesting for enthusiasts. This often allowed you to get even more performance out of this processor. The AMD FX-8320 is of course no longer at the top today. But it remains an important part of AMD's history.
  • Eight cores for multithreading
  • Attractive price-performance ratio
  • Good overclocking possibilities
  • 8 MB Level-3 Cache
