In 2011, AMD released the Bulldozer processor. The FX-8000 series bears the aura of the first desktop 8-core processor.
However, the real performance has overturned. In 2012, AMD launched the second-generation bulldozer core Piledriver processor and there was no new architecture. , Until 2017 Ryzen turned over.
The design concept of the bulldozer family is very good, but the IPC performance is very bad, the energy efficiency of the 32nm SOI process is not satisfactory, but the frequency is amazing.
It not only achieved a historic 5GHz but also created a record of the highest 8.722GHz in overclocking. No one has surpassed it so far. Considering that the Bulldozer processor has been released for nearly 10 years, fewer and fewer people have challenged CPU overclocking records in the past few years.
Now American overclocker Bones has made a breakthrough by overclocking an FX-8320 processor to 8189MHz.
In the ranking of the FX-8320 processor, this frequency can only be ranked fifth, the previous frequencies are all 8.4GHz or 8.5GHz, but these records were also created between 2014 and 2015, and finally, in six years Someone squeezed into the forefront again, the significance is still not to be underestimated.
It is worth mentioning that the IMC memory controller of this processor is also broken and can only use single-channel memory, so Bones will not use this FX-8320 to challenge higher records, and will look for a new CPU. , And look forward to him finally completing a new record.
In addition, you can recall the performance level of the FX-8320 processor. The TimeSpy score is 2824 points, which is about a quarter of that of the 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X.
