Cpu amd fx-8320 đánh giá năm 2024

The AMD FX-8320E – not something that’s exactly new but in fact it’s actually quite old as the Codename Vishera for AMD’s Piledriver core based FX series processors surfaced many years ago. The thing about the FX-8320E is that it’s improved with lower TDP, from a whopping 125w down to 95w.

Processor Details

Here’s the CPU-Z capture.

Everything is essentially as the other FX-8xxx series, so the FX-8320E is exactly the same processor as the FX-8320 released 3 years ago (in 2012) running at lower power consumption.

Let’s cut to the chase – benchmarks! Oh but before that, I managed to overclock the processor to 4Ghz with vcore at around 1.2.

Test Setup & Overclocking

Motherboard ASUS Crosshair IV Formula RAM Avexir Blitz 1.1 8GB kit, set to 1333Mhz Graphic Card ASUS HD 7750 Cooler Stock / DeepCool Gamer Storm Lucifer Power Supply Cooler Master V700 Operating System Windows 8 Pro 64bit

Benchmarks

The following are the test results. Note that there’s the STOCK setup and there’s the 3.5Ghz setup where the frequency is fixed, this is to see how it actually performs without fluctuating clock.

The overclock gave the Pentium a significant boost in performance but it’s still no where near the capability of a Core i3 with 2C / 4T.

While it’s beyond my explanation on how the FX-8320E and FX-8350 exchange blows, it’s good to see that the FX-8320E does give the FX-8350 a good challenge.

Power Consumption

Power Consumption measurement is based on readings taken from watt-meter. Power consumption is based on entire system, comprising of the processor, a motherboard, 2 sticks of RAM and 1 fan for cooling purpose. For this setup, the power consumption is inclusive of the HD 7750 graphic card.

Temperature

The stock heatsink handled the 4Ghz @ 1.20 vcore overclock fine BUT the processor is throttled quite often. Basically it works, the fan will be at full RPM once the temperature peaks and the processor down-clocks to 1.7Ghz – 2Ghz range from time to time.

I’m quite surprised at the temperature level because on stock settings the stock heatsink doesn’t feel hot, which is very unlike the 125w AMD FX processors and APU.

The Verdict

It’s not new and it’s not revolutionary either but it’s a great step ahead. You now have an 8-core 3.5Ghz processor solution at under RM 600, the processor retails at around RM 570. 🙂 It performs very close to the 125w FX-8350 that’s priced at around RM 700. A decent 970 chipset based board like GIGABYTE’s 970A-DS3P retails at around RM 310 and you have a great setup for under RM 900, much cheaper than having an Intel Core i7 with Z97 board setup.

I think the FX-8320E would be a great option for gamers on a budget, the only overclockable setup that’s under RM 900! For non-gamers, it works great too but you’ll need to add about RM 100 to the setup cost for a graphic card.

AMD’s Bulldozer architecture had limited success when it was first launched, mainly due to the lack of support it had at that time and some problems with performance. This gave Intel access to the processor slipstream, so its lead was increased significantly.

The architecture has matured somewhat since then. The Piledriver microarchitecture we’ve looked at so far has proved to be a worthy and cost-effective counterpart to Intel’s more expensive i-platform.

The FX-8320E is a more modern release from September 2014, with a 3.2GHz base clock speed, 4GHz turbo clock speed and an impressive eight cores and eight threads. There’s 8MB of L2 cache (1MB per core) and 8MB of L3 cache (again, 1MB per core) and a more acceptable TDP of 95W.

The ‘E’ addition to the end of the processor number, in case you’re wondering, denotes a lesser TDP than the standard FX-8320, which has a TDP of 125W. The Black Edition label is always something that tends to confuse people, since it’s something left behind from older AMD CPUs. Basically, the Black Edition used to mean a processor that was unlocked and could therefore be overclocked. Since the FX processors are already unlocked, the Black Edition label is really a little redundant. However, some people regard the Black Edition, even in the FX lineup, as being able to get higher overclock speeds than non-Black Edition CPUs.

On the topic of overclocking, the average aircooled clock speed tends to be around 4.5GHz, with a liquid-cooled clock speed topping 4.8GHz. Using our Arctic Liquid Freezer 240, we did manage to get the processor up to a stable 4.7GHz, but pushing it slightly more revealed some instability.

As for performance, the FX-8320E is certainly no slouch, especially when it comes to multi-core performance. The Cinebench R15 single-core test score was 93, while the multi-core test score was an impressive 586. Likewise, the PassMark version 8 overall score was an equally good 7,966 while the singlecore score came in at 1,361.

The FX-8320E is a processor that successfully ticks a number of boxes It’s a worthwhile eight-core processor, with some good overclocking

The FX-8320E is a processor that successfully ticks a number of boxes. It’s reasonably cheap, it has plenty of overclocking support with a stable high number of gigahertz, and it doesn’t consume much power – using the base clock speed, obviously.

Needless to say, the FX-8320E is a capable CPU, which can happily deliver good gaming performance, as well as higher-end computing tasks and everyday duties. While it may not beat the higher-end Intel i5 or i7 CPUs, it’s a really good processor and for that price it’ll beat a similar-costing Intel-based system in performance.
