The alternative OS gurus over at Phoronix have put AMD's FX-8370E processor to the test running Linux.
AMD today is rolling out three new FX-Series processors (the FX-8320E, FX-8370E, and FX-8370) while cutting prices on their existing Vishera AM3+ FX processors. AMD sent over the new FX-8370 and FX-8370E CPUs last week to Phoronix (the FX-8320E is still forthcoming) so we are here with the rundown on the Linux performance of these new FX CPUs compared to a wide variety of other Intel and AMD Linux systems with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
From the review I found both the performance and power draw of the FX-8370E disappointing. Looks like I will not be updating my core2quad linux based htpc with an FX-8370E based system. Back to waiting for 14nm..
