AMD Announces Piledriver CPU release date.

[FR4NOx]

The Vishera processors were released today. They are a good improvement from Bulldozer and are more power efficient, but Intel is still leading the way with general performance and power efficiency. The FX-8350 is priced at $220USD on Newegg, though I've read that it's $200USD at other retailers. The 8320 is priced at a respectable $180USD on Newegg.

I had high hopes for AMD, and I'm glad that the architecture was improved, however I think they should work on power efficiency since they can't seem to keep up with Intel performance-wise.
