In addition to retail parts, this week AMD also launched six-core FX-6350 and eight-core FX-8300 microprocessors for OEM systems. The OEM parts are now available in HP ENVY h8-1400z desktop computer.

AMD FX-8300 and FX-8320 to launch in October

Jul 15, 2012: We previously reported on new AMD FX-8350 eight core microprocessor, coming in the fourth quarter. Due to improved micro-architecture and higher stock frequency, that part will offer moderate performance boost over current flagship AMD FX-8150. The FX-8350 is not going to be released alone. According to Fudzilla, AMD plans to launch FX-8300 and FX-8320 eight-core models together with the 8350.

Posted by: steven

with the lower tdp, the 8300 might be a better choice than the 8350....you could just OC the 8300 to 8350 speeds with a lower power consumption/heat output.

it would the the old athlon 64 x2 4400 vs 4800 all over again.

altho im not all to familiar with piledriver architecture, so i may be wrong
