AMD FX-4300 Vishera Quad-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM3+ Cpu

SKU : CPUFX4300B

AMD FX-4300 Vishera Quad-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM3+ Cpu

New microarchitecture, new level of performance

Piledriver microarchitecture, a tuned-up Bulldozer, has finally reached the flagship AMD FX processors (the new FX series processors are codenamed Vishera) for improved performance and better energy-efficiency. Four “Piledriver” cores ensure rich, crisp video and seamless multitasking. The AMD Turbo Core technology pushes your core frequencies to the most when you need it most. To top it off, like all other AMD’s Black Edition processors, the new AMD FX 4-core Vishera processor is fully unlocked for fabulous overclocking* capability. Great performance is not the only trick AMD has up their sleeve. Vishera processors are at a reasonable price point.

* AMD’s product warranty does not cover damage caused by overclocking even when overclocking is enabled via AMD Overdrive software.

The Control You Want

  • Unlocked clock multiplier for a powerful overclocking advantage (AMD’s product warranty does not cover damages caused by overclocking, even when overclocking is enabled via AMD hardware)
  • Highly configurable power and performance curve via AMD OverDrive software
  • Tailor your experience to your personal preference, whether it’s performance, efficiency, or low noise

Reliability You Deserve

  • AMD processors power premium products and world-class operations from industry leaders like HP, Microsoft, Samsung Electronics, and Sony
  • The AMD FX processor is built from the company’s 8th generation x86 CPU architecture based on over 40 years of silicon-crafting experience

New Instruction Capabilities

  • AVX – Advanced Vector Extensions increase parallelism for scientific and 3D apps using heavy floating point calculations
  • FMA4 and XOP – Floating-Point Vector Multiply-Accumulate and eXtended Operations improve throughput and performance on many integer and floating point vector functions
  • AES – Advanced Encryption Standard increases performance on encryption apps like TrueCrypt and PCMark

AMD Turbo Core Technology

AMD FX Processors come equipped with AMD Turbo Core Technology. AMD Turbo Core Technology is a performance boosting technology that helps increase performance on the applications that need it the most.

AMD Balanced Smart Cache

  • Shared L3 cache (up to 8MB)
  • Improved scheduling and pre-fetch capabilities
  • 64-ways (16-ways/sub-cache)
  • Increased data queue sizes
  • Coherency for multi-cores

AMD Wide Floating Point Accelerator

  • Shared FP Scheduler
  • Dual 128-bit Floating point engines – capable of teaming together for 256-bit AVX instructions or operating separately with each core

AMD has not pleased us with the release of processors for desktop configurations for a long time. No, there were, of course, AMD Richland, AMD Kaveri and AMD Kabini APUs, but we do not take them into account, since these are solutions of a slightly different level, and they are mainly intended for non-gaming systems. You can also recall the announcement of models with the AMD FX-9 indexxxx. But again, there is nothing radically new in them — the same AMD FX-8350, only with a different degree of parameter optimization.

It would seem that such a situation should be deplorable for AMD’s processor division. At least, this is what many skeptics think, who predict its closure from month to month. But what do we see in practice? Despite the fact that almost two years have passed since the announcement of models from the AMD Vishera series, they still “feel” great on the market surrounded by competitors from the new families of Intel Haswell, Intel Haswell Refresh and Intel Devil’s Canyon. And here it’s not only the attractive cost, but also the potential that was laid by the manufacturer back in the AMD Bulldozer architecture. We mean the concept of dual-core modules. Recently, developers, especially games, have finally begun to put into practice the advantages of parallel computing. You don’t have to go far for examples, because such well-known projects as Crysis 3 and BattleField 4 «made friends» with multithreading quite well. And this is just the beginning…

Thus, AMD Vishera solutions, already «old» by the standards of the computer industry, continue to confidently hold their positions in the processor market, and, apparently, they do not even think of disappearing from store shelves in the near future.

Therefore, we gladly accepted the offer to test the 4-core model AMD FX -4300 , which many in Internet circles call nothing more than a «people’s» processor.

Packaging, Package Contents, and Appearance

The AMD FX-4300 processor comes in a small cardboard box with red and white colors typical of AMD products. The central place on the front panel is reserved for the AMD FX series logo. Under it, you can find the inscription «Black Edition», which, according to the company’s policy, indicates the presence of an unlocked multiplier in this model. Also, from the information on the package, you can find out the main characteristics of the processor: the nominal clock frequency (3800 MHz), the number of cores (4) and the total amount of cache memory (8 MB).

The box contains:

  • processor packed in a plastic blister for additional protection;
  • cooler;
  • user manual;
  • AMD FX series logo sticker.

The AMD FX-4300 model belongs to the AMD Vishera family, so outwardly it does not differ in any way from its older counterparts that have been previously in our test lab: AMD FX-6350, AMD FX-8350 and AMD FX-9370. The name of the series and the model marking are on the heat-distributing cover. The countries where the crystal was grown (Germany) and where the final assembly of the processor took place (Malaysia) are also indicated. The arrangement of contacts on the back side corresponds to the Socket AM3+ processor socket.

Stock cooling system

The cooler that comes with the AMD FX-4300 processor has a fairly simple configuration: an aluminum heatsink with a square base, a fan and a fan . Considering the declared TDP level of 95 watts, it’s a little strange to see the absence of any copper elements here, not to mention heat pipes.

Although compared to the standard cooling system for AMD 65-watt processors, this cooler (in the photo on the right) looks much more «solid».

A fairly efficient (8.4 W) 70 mm AVC DESC0715B2U fan based on a rolling bearing is used to blow the radiator fins. There is a 4-pin connector for connecting to the motherboard. The fan speed is controlled using the PWM method.

Performance Analysis

In normal operation, the AMD FX-4300 runs at 3800 MHz with a base frequency of 200 MHz and a x19 multiplier. At the time of taking the readings, the core voltage was 1.248 V.

In the dynamic overclocking mode using proprietary AMD Turbo Core 3.0 technology, the multiplier is increased by 1 point to the value of «x20». At the same time, the processor clock frequency increases to 4000 MHz, and the voltage increases to 1.332 V. For 6-core models, this value, as a rule, already exceeds 1.4 V.

Note that AMD Turbo Core 3.0 technology is quite efficient and has several stages, in which the processor frequency and voltage change depending on the load. In particular, in the case of AMD FX-4300 between 3800 MHz and 4000 MHz there is another intermediate state — 3900 MHz (voltage — 1.344 V, multiplier — «x19.5»).

This graph shows the behavior of the processor under maximum load. As you can see, its frequency does not constantly stay at the level of 4000 MHz, but «floats» within 3400 — 4000 MHz. The supply voltage also changes — from 1.212 V to 1. 356 V.

In idle mode, the multiplier is reduced to the value «x7», thereby lowering the frequency to 1400 MHz, and the voltage to 0.888 V.

AMD FX-4300 cache memory is distributed as follows: memory of the first level L1: 16 KB for data with 4 channels of associativity and 64 KB for instructions with 2 channels of associativity are allocated for each of the 4 cores;

  • L2 cache: 2 MB for each 2-core module with 16 channels of associativity;
  • L3 cache: 4 MB for all cores with 32 associativity channels.

    • The DDR3 memory controller operates in 2-channel mode and is guaranteed to support modules up to 1866 MHz.
