The 8 core CPU AMD processor series is one of the latest additions in today’s cutting edge processing tools. After Athlon, Phenom, and the A-series’ 4-6 cores, AMD has started launching their 8 core CPU AMD processors into the market branded as the FX series and afterwards the Opteron. Certainly the 8 core CPU AMD is the closest match to Intel’s core i-7, regarding clock speed and multitasking operations. Intel processors have been dominating the market since decades, but now is the time for the 8 core CPU AMD FX and Opteron to claim a greater share of the worldwide sells of Microprocessors. That’s because within a competitive price range the 8 core CPU AMD is proven to be the best choice for those who want to experience the greatest computing comfort the Silicon Valley has ever offered.
By the October twelfth 2011, the much anticipated 8 core CPU AMD, FX-8150 was tested bringing in the “Bulldozer micro architecture”. The latest 8 core CPU AMD FX processors are unlocked with a reasonably large size of multilevel (L2 and L3) cache and maximum turbo frequencies exceeding 4 GHz with simple air cooling, while benchmark experiments reveal the clock speed of the same 8 core CPU AMD processors up-to 6.2 GHz with a liquid Helium cooling system. The much anticipated Bulldozer architecture is not about raw speed only. The 8 core CPU AMD microprocessors with the Bulldozer architecture have been designed with power efficiency and a smaller processor size as two major concerns.
In certain citations from experts, the 8 core CPU AMD processor faces criticism as not being an even match for the well ahead contender, the Intel core i-7, let alone upcoming wonders from the monopolization giant. But if one considers the price performance ratio, purchasing an 8 core CPU AMD would be very much reasonable for those who want to live (process) within their means. The power efficiency, small size advantage, reasonable price and above all a challenging performance front puts the 8 core CPU AMD micro-processors back into the game.
An FX-8150 model, 8 core CPU AMD micro-processor provides three different clock speeds such as 3.6 GHz (Base), 3.9 GHz (Turbo), and 4.2 GHz (Max Turbo). All these 8 core CPU AMD micro-processors come with 8 MB of L2 and 8 MB of L3 Cache RAM.
Another 8 core CPU AMD, the FX-8120 microprocessor is capable to give three different clock speeds with the same microprocessor. Those are, 3.1 GHz (Base), 3.4 GHz (Turbo), and 4.2 GHz (Max Turbo) with 8MB of level 2 and 8 MB of level 3 cache memory.
The FX-8100 provides with 2.8(Base), 3.1(Turbo), and 3.7(Max Turbo) GHz clock speeds with the same amount and distribution of level 2 and level 3 of cache RAM.
For smoothly running heavy games and editing HD videos, an evenly configured system containing an 8 core CPU AMD, FX-8150 microprocessor is very dependable with a base speed of 3.6 GHz. It also has a totally unlocked processing feature that enables the turbo mode, and with a very common cooling system it can operate the max turbo speed for an 8 core CPU AMD microprocessor reaching up-to a staggering 4.2 GHz of over clocked speed.
