CPU/Mobo AMD PileDriver Discussion thread

[yashvisent]

Will they work on existing AM3+ mobo's. FX-8350 with around USD 200 pricing looks very very tempting ??

 

[kartikoli]

Yes it should after may be after bios update

 

[sudhanshu123]

yes they will work after bios update.i have already updated mine and my mobo's ready for vishera.

Rofl, got this reply from Prime

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email.

FX-8350 will be available for Rs. 19000/- . It will be back to back order, after order and payment confirmation in next 10 days we will dispatch the material.

Thanks & Regards

^^ Why so high price? I thought , in India price would be around 11-12k

 

[sudhanshu123]

^^at least it should be,that price is just plain wrong.PD gives good upgrade in games over BD,IMO PD's is a good upgrade because of that.in synthetic's,there's improvement too,but not as drastic as in games.

They are just milking the excitement of early adopters. At least it is more reasonable than people buying iPhone 5 for Rs. 1.5 lakhs...

On a related note, what's news of Trinity? It's been a month already, when are A10-5800K and A85 motherboards going to release?

 

[sudhanshu123]

^^i have been wondering about trinity too,but PD is what i am interested in since i am on am3+.anybody knws if steamroller will also come on am3+,i read some rumors about it.

any update on pile driver why no more posting in this thread

 

[sumonpathak]

got my hands on a sample momentarily..ran some benches...keeping FPU stuff aside this chip is a beast....

 

[Dark Star]

^^ I'll hold my purchases. Will stick with Stars based LLano as of now.

Will jump either to Haswell or Steamroller based APU depending on overall performance (both gfx and cpu)

AMD FX-8350 for Rs.12,694 [ AMD FX 8350: Flipkart.com ]
Nice pricing by AMD

I m going to have CV formulla mobo + 1090T is it worth to upgrade to 8350 i m using sli 460's

 

[bodmas]

jaydipmori ~ Are you using AMD Phenom II X6 1090T config or do you want upgrade to FX-8350?

No point of upgrading, hold out and get an Intel Haswell based system.

 

[bodmas]

ALPHA17 ~ Intel Haswell will be overpriced it seems so as usual by Intel. AMD PILEDRIVER config is presently VFM.

Let it release. If you think Pile-Driver is value-for-money think of the electricity bill you will foot under constant usage.

That will be disadvantage for PILEDRIVER but it is VFM then IVY BRIDGE.

I hope you understand that nobody stresses its cpu 100% all the time or run benchmarks all day long ?

Idle consumption and average power consumption is as good as IVY if not better. However at load its gets real bad.

Any reviews of piledriver?
