AMD FX-4330 CPU Discovered in Russia and six-core FX-6330 soon.

[AlexandarJL]

Announced in June, the new generation of APUs from AMD was supposed to come in just a few months. Apparently, onlinetrade.ru online shop is already selling it for 5100 rubles ($89.5 USD).

Built on Godavari core, which is a modern twist on the older Kaveri design, it will have a slightly upped core voltage, and will have increased processor and graphics frequencies, with better CPU and GPU performance. More Godavari processors are expected to launch this year, but it is not only the FM2+ platform that may get refreshed. According to AMD, it’s believed that more socket AM1 and AM3+ desktop parts will be released in Q2 2015.

Together with these two sockets, two FX-series models will also come until the end of this year, namely the quad-core FX-4330 and six-core FX-6330. As it seems, one of them already appeared in online stores in Russia.

Sockets first, CPUs later

The Russian online store sells the tray version of the FX-4330. According to the APUs performance specs, the processor is clocked at 4 GHz, having 5 per cent higher base frequency and being 20 per cent more expensive. Although CPU World believes that some spec details of the new APU aren’t correct, the FD4330WMW4KHK part number is valid enough to provide further accurate info about the available product.

The decoded part number shows the FX-4330 as having 4 CPU cores, 8 MB L3 cache and 95 Watt TDP, while the "HK" suffix means that it is built on Vishera core. Also, it seems the new APU is compatible with AM3 socket motherboards. A BIOS upgrade will probably help the motherboard recognize the new APU.

Apparently, the FX family of APUs will remain unchanged until the first quarter of 2016. While the FX-4330 already made an appearance, it remains only for the FX-6330 to come to light, probably in a few months.

why amd why

Wonder when we'll get some performance reviews.  It'd be nice if AMD could at least release something to compete with the i3 and be a bit cheaper. 

[Manny Calavera]

If they fixed the IPC, then FX-6330 would compete with i3

 

also new APU ! it would be nice if it compete with consoles while oc

[Dabombinable]

Quite simply, the same old CMT bull shit with an iGPU.

Intel should buy amd and put 2 of their hyperthreaded cores in AMD`s apu

 

Perfect match.

AMD business model

 

1 Start with what worked 7 years ago

2 Add more cores

3 Pretend you are not ironing your balls with your pants. 

4 Cry a little

FX-8320 ? Well , it's the same price , not cheaper.

Fx8320 doesn't compete in games and it's more expensive because it doesn't work in a $40 mobo

Well, you can get similar priced mobos for it here (options are limited but not bad), however the CPU itself is about $50 more expensive.  

 

I just want more options.

So, I decided to give dark theme a try. After two days, I've decided that this is a bad idea.

gigabyte has heatsinked vrm mobo for around that price. stock i dont think it would exceed the limit of the chokes, but downvolt would be optimal. or 8320E.

Multithreaded performance, they already do. Singlethreaded, that's impossible before Zen (and would be surprising even with Zen).

FX processors at stock speeds do not match i3 in gaming. You need 4ghz++.

[deviant88]

okok its news, but no one gives a shit about the dead FX series anymore

[Manny Calavera]

depends on a game. 4ghz 8 core in gta5 is better for example.

still, even in well threaded games, intel is stil the safe option

You are not going to say that an FX8300 is worse than my i5 4690k at stock speeds.

[harrynowl]

Seems a bit pointless to me to put something between the FX4300 and the FX4350.

'Vishera' is what did it for me-rip AMD if they think that they can do it a 3rd time with their CPU.

[CalumGiff]

Yay, refreshes of bad cpus, yay!

[Manny Calavera]

at 4.7 ghz its still worse

[Dabombinable]

at 4.7 ghz its still worse

At 5.3GHz its worse than my i5 4440, so ^this is under exaggerating^.

idk. i just looked gta 5 benches and gamegpu.ru site benches of last year games. who knows if dx12 will do magic.

 i was the one trumping how 8320 will be good for multithread games. its ok, but still trailing behind i5 in games that obviously use more cores. i havent done much research how much utilization there is on core tho.

 

but you are right,  haswell vs vishera is 2:1 per cor perf, but it is raised by about 20% on amd side if you disable one alu cluster in each module. so the design is wasteful for games.

*facedesk* DX 12 won't rescue a 4 year old CPU that has an IPC close to that of a Pentium III based Celeron M.
