AMD Piledriver FX: faster than 20% of the Bulldozer

According to reports from Softpedia.com, the next CPU Desktop AMD FX architecture Piledriver will be at least 15% faster than the bulldozer FX solutions. The site dares actually a 20%, a consideration made ​​based on a demonstration by AMD that saw in front of a bulldozer FX-8150 CPU and APU Trinity (think of a 5800K-A10). To have a certain uniformity in the tests, the FX-8150 has been overclocked to 3.8 GHz, disabling two modules for a total of 4 threads.

 

The performance of Trinity were best, with a maximum deviation of 15%, despite the FX-8150 had access to a cache of 8 MB L3 (absent of Trinity). If we think then that will have a significant FX Piledriver L3 Cache, Softpedia calculations may be accurate.

Finally, considering that the AMD FX-8350 will be proposed by the company with an operating frequency higher (you can read AMD FX 8350will have a frequency of 4 GHz ), the performance could be even better, allowing AMD to catch up with Intel .
