Quote:In the conclusion of this comparison, we can be a lot more firm than in the previous one. If you now have an AMD FX processor, you should consider upgrading to a newer CPU. In almost all benchmarks, you'll gain at least 50% performance, while some modern games are almost unplayable on a Bulldozer.

In multi-threaded software such as the Adobe suite and Microsoft Excel, the FX-8370E we've tested today can still keep up a bit, although it floats between a modern Pentium and Core i3. In single-threaded tasks like converting audio and browsing literally every common processor is a lot faster than the Bulldozer.
