Anyone Still Using AMD FX CPUs?

[MoneyFace =p]

but these are apu, which will be rather costly as the graphics part is added in. is there a refresh just the cpu alone?

They do sold as Athlon, but not much cheaper than their full fledge APU counterparts than you'll expect.

u mean FX? i read somewhere FX mobo will not be compatible with next gen amd cpu, whereas FM2+ will.

All will unify under one new socket FM3

yup, amd always like to come out with "refined" models year(s) after they introduce new architecture. These "E" chips run cool too.

Sure or not? My FX6300 is like a heater can't shake off the bad taste in the mouth

I bought the 8370E, nothing much though...... Slightly worse than my FX9590, maybe its because its an early 8370E.

Bulldozer is hot, Vishera not doing too bad if batch is decent (coupled with some voltage tweak). "E" series would be d best among all IMO eventhou i didn't really test 'em personally.

8350 i tested 2 years back certainly not that hot, lol...
