AMD FX 8320e 8 core CPU Review

Gaming Tests
Our Gaming tests show a tale of two halves, with the Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider results being almost identical for the Stock 8 Core Piledriver CPUs and the Quad core Steamroller CPUs, Hitman Absolution on the other hand shown that it simply loves the 8 cores provided by the AM3+ CPUs, especially when overclocked.
The sad fact is that most games are not made to use more than 4 CPU cores, so gains like seen in Hitman will be rare right now, but in the future with DirectX 12 and other low level APIs on the way multi-threaded gaming loads should become a much more common sight.

I just wish AMD could hang with the big boys again, as soon as they do it I'll build an AMD rig. I'd love to but I'm not really on the market for budget components as good as this may be for the price. :\Quote
Some new high-end gear from them would be nice 
need something sexy to slot into my PC-P50R. That case is a weird AMD anchor for me 
I should never have bought it!Quote
