but if we see at the pricing on newegg there's not much price difference between Ivy and Haswell pentium cpus.

Hi I want to buy AMD 3.5 GHz AM3+ FX 8320 8 Core Piledriver Processor - AMD: Flipkart.com
I have Corsair V450, 2 HDDs, 3 RAM sticks, and AMD HD5670 1GB DDR5 GCard. Motherboard ASUS M5A88-M-EVO Motherboard - ASUS: Flipkart.com which supports the mentioned CPU Will buying this processor overload my PSU. Or I need to buy a lower model processor ? Because I won't change my PSU presently.

And If I can buy that Processor, how is it's performance compared to i7 ?

>is your PSU VS450 ? Then NO dont use it with such highend processor or you will end up with everything in burned state.
>Get Asus M5A97 evo r2.0 or Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 avoid 880 series mobo.
>confirm that those 3 RAM sticks are DDR3 and HDDs are SATA else won't work with latest MoBos.
>fx 8320 with a discrete graphics card will surely overload your PSU. Get Antec VP450p(minimum) or Seasonic S12ii 520(recommended).
>which i7 ? In what aspects?
In most aspects FX 8320 won't perform better then ANY i7-3xxx or i7-4xxx. How can you compare an i7 with half priced fx 8320.
FX 8320 is vfm product, get proped PSU and you are good to go :)

:-| was that a suggestion ? I wont change either my mobo or PSU. I m not looking to build a new system anytime soon, coz I havenot even utilized the full potential of my old one.
Anyway, just recommend me which one should I go with, I wanna change my Athlon.

Over priced means better performance, not always true. Anyway, I just asked as it got 8 physical cores.

Corsair vs 450w will be fine, you should get new psu if you have intend to put a high end gpu in future

You get what you pay.:) i7 is not overpriced.

yes :D
DDR4 RAM coming next month: Double the speed, triple the density and 20 per cent less power use than DDR3 - Pocket-lint

but in the link posted by Ashish from tomshardware about 8 core haswell E , there was a sentence which states
DDR4 memory up to 2133 MHz.

that introduced some confusion

:confused: isn't ddr4 starts at 2133Mhz?

LOL :lol: come on guys , its double-data rate DDR4 2133Mhz makes it 4266Mhz :)

Like DDR3 800Mhz x 2 = 1600Mhz ,got it now :wink:

DDR4 will support 2133 - 4266 MT/s compared to DDR3's 800 - 2133 MT/s (Million transfers per second)
