The key to overclocking AMD processors and achieving big performance gains is increasing the CPU-NB. A lot of people just increase the CPU speed and call it a day, thinking they've done all they need to and leaving the rest alone. This week the FX-8350 is on sale at NCIX for $190 and because of that I have a hard time seeing where the benefits are in switching to Intel unless I was offered a smoking deal. I'm close to pulling the trigger for a Vishera.  |
If you have the power supply to handle an OC 8350 and already have a motherboard, I would say go for it. Just make sure you have a good cooler. The only I don't know is if I would spend the extra on the 8350 over the 8320. From what I have read when OC there is usually only 100mhz separating the 2.
