Conclusion
AMD’s FX-8370 Vishera suffered on some tests and redeemed itself on others. This CPU is a choice for those of you who are looking into building their first Gaming computer but don’t want to drop a lot of money on it. The Vishera is a great CPU for all current generation gaming and can easily run Witcher 3, Battlefield Hardline, Fallout 4 (when accompanied by a 960/970/980 GPU, or SLI’ed GPU’s of previous generations). AMD has definitely released a fantastic CPU for those of us needing a mid-tier enthusiast build with a lot of possibilities in overclocking. If you choose to get this CPU and want to get the most out of it, you should consider overclocking it using a water-cooler and using the new generation of NVidia GPU’s.
| Pro | Cons |
|---|---|
| Fantastic over-clocking ability right out of the box | Is not significantly better than its 8350 counterpart which is about the same speed but is cheaper |
| Runs very well even with a cheap cooler | Does not outperform a 3rd generation i5 processor, i5 3570K at stock, that costs about the same |
We here at Techwarelabs rate the FX-8370 a 7 out of 10 for its fantastic performance but rather high price when compared to the 8350 even, and gladly award our Silver Award for CPU performance!
