So will and discount the 8350 when zen comes out?
Seems rather than waiting for zen specifically one could get an extremely competent setup for dirt cheap if this happens.
Is there any history of this happening?

pick one

It's already dirt cheap for what you get.
>>55393370
yeah shit is often dirt cheap
>>55393370
This. If you need something for multithreaded workloads and don't care too much about power consumption the FX line is a steal right now.

My 6100 is still remarkably relevant, and for how cheap it was I'm gonna stick with it.
Well I was planning on 2 separate builds so cost is a factor...just wondering if they will get further discounted when zen drops.

The damned thing is fine. Go troll elsewhere. I'm sure there is a gpu thread or 10 That you can shit up...

I got my 8320 for 100$ new at my local microcenter. Very capable chip, does what it needs for all my vidya, but it really shines under a heavy heavy workload. If you find yourself working with many intensive programs side by side its great.
If your a light power user and mainly want vidya, an i5 would be a better choice.
Streaming, rendering 3d, and other highly intensive parralel workloads, the FX stomps the i5.

Nice delusion. A similarly priced haslel i5 matches fx-8xxx in muh multithreaded and rapes it in single core performance..at like half the power usage.

it's funny how the one with the wraith cooler is like $50 more now. wtf lol.

If by "stomps" you mean "barely scrapes away a victory at 8 threads".

yeah its cheap and not bad if you render on the cheap or something
but its IPC are terrible vs the intel i3/i5 offerings
i highly doubt amd can match the i5 with zen
Usually they just destroy shipments of old shit since they don't want to devalue their products. So no, you're not likely to buy the 8350 for next to nothing when zen releases.

But not price ;) from either buying new CPU & MOBO ;)
