PCBench Rating in 2025
Based on comprehensive benchmarks and real-world performance data analyzed by our custom AI algorithm.
AI Summary
The AMD FX-8350 offers decent gaming performance, with frames per second (FPS) ranging from 20-120 in various games like Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, but its age and limited multithreading capabilities make it less competitive against newer CPUs like the Intel Core i7-11700K.
Pros
- Decent gaming performance for its time
- 8 cores provide good multitasking capabilities
- Relatively affordable at $199
- Supports DDR3 memory
Cons
- Outdated architecture compared to modern CPUs
- Limited multithreading support
- High power consumption at 125W TDP
- No integrated GPU on all motherboard models
