Last month I had the opportunity to check out the repackaged AMD FX 8350 processor that came bundled with the chipmaker's new "Wraith" heatsink cooling solution, and today I will be taking another look the ?Wraith's performance with the FX-6350 Vishera 6-core 3.9 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) processor that directly competes with the Intel Core i3 CPU.

As shown in the second slide below, the FX 6350 processor provides 1.5 times the multithreading capacity over the Intel Core i3 and over thrice the total cache. AMD's FX-8370, 8350, and 6350 processors are now available packaged with AMD's "Wraith" cooler to provide an out-of-the-box enthusiast level cooling solution.

The third slide meanwhile demonstrates the expected gaming performance increases that Microsoft DirectX 12 API offers over DirectX 11 when the FX 6350 processor is paired with an AMD R9 390X graphics card, delivering more data at a faster rate to get work done quicker through the use of multicore processors. Rendering is completed in less time and latency is reduced thus giving you more frames per second, a definite advantage with multiplayer gaming and a great help for those work graphic presentations so popular these days.
