AMD "Piledriver" refresh of Zambezi - info, speculations, test, fans

[sequoia464]

Well, if not cherry, then good.
If cherry, no better than BD...they could have easily set up a demo running wPrime 1024/Cinebench all day on a PC that wasn't Prime stable, or stable enough for say a folding/crunching program...
C0 stepping, but this has higher (Piledriver) IPC, right?

The one thing that I still haven't seen anywhere is power draw, I know the voltage is still close to BD, but the overall power usage is supposed to be less. Anyone seen anything on this??

On that CO stepping, CPUZ is still reporting this chip to be a Zambezi, rather than a Vishera so it looks like CPUZ isn't reporting everything accurately yet, even though it shows it as a FX-8350.
EDIT: or would that even affect the stepping report?
