TURBO: This is a 3.5Ghz CPU... it runs at 3.5Ghz stock setting. TURBO can be enabled via your motherboard's BIOS. The options are AUTO and DISABLED. When Disabled, your CPU will consistently run at 3.5Ghz frequency... period. When Turbo is enabled, your CPU's frequency is dynamically controlled based on the system's requirements.
Under a minimal workload (browsing the web, listening to music, running office software, etc) the CPU will auto-adjust to a lower frequency. For example, 3.0 - 3.4, etc... You don't have to manually adjust anything, it just does it by itself, and it maintains system stability when doing so. Now... say you're running a next-gen game, transferring a boat-load of files from one HDD to another, or rendering a video or animation... Then Turbo will increase your CPU's frequency up to 4.0Ghz!! Automatically, no need to manually overclock it.
However, whatever the frequency is set to (ie 3.5 - 4.0+ etc) will be a "Target Frequency". In other words, the base frequency that other multipliers and ratios are based off of. So if you overclock it, then Turbo will still dynamically control your CPU frequency, but it will make it's adjustments based on the new target frequency. From what I've seen, Turbo tends to work within a 1Ghz range. For example: at stock (3.5) the frequency will fluctuate between 3.0 and 4.0... Overclocked to 4.0, the range tends to be between 3.5 - 4.5... If you want to overclock, but you're concerned about stability (no reason for concern that I've seen so far) then just manually overclock it in the bios and turn off Turbo. Otherwise, the dynamic control over CPU power is a fantastic and efficient feature well worth leaving on no matter what your intentions are for this CPU.
HEAVY LOAD TEST: Moving on to performance... I like to break my CPU in by attempting to put it under the "worst-case-scenario-load". This is a combination of everything I may have to be switching between on any given job if I'm suddenly under a tight deadline and need to power through a creative media project... >> While transferring 300Gb of data from one drive to another, and changing ownership of 8 separate folders (containing several hundred Gb of data each), I watched a 1080p HD video in fullscreen, browsed the web, played music, ran Photoshop CS6 editing a 600ppi PSD doc with about 40+ layers, ran Maya 2013 rendering a complex scene and animation at 4K resolution with mental ray lighting and shadows, ran After Effects CS6 compositing a 1080p animation with visual effects, ran Premiere CS6 editing a 1080p video as well, ran Animate 2 (essentially Flash) animating a 30sec 1080p animation (720 frames/images), ran Audacity editing a 2min audio file with 16 tracks, AND... I was still able to start up Assassin's Creed IV and play! Sort of... It wasn't the best frame rate, and I had to turn AA and physX off, but still... wow! The only reason I started up AC-IV was because I couldn't think of anything else to do to try to crash the system. Hahaha. That's even before I overclocked it!
OVERCLOCKING & TEMPS: This CPU is essentially an under-clocked 8350. AMD also makes their CPUs with O.C. in mind, so there is plenty of voltage headroom at stock settings, enough to O.C. this baby to 4.0Ghz out of the box without touching anything but the frequency! Mind you, this should only even be attempted with an after-market cooling solution (Top of the line CPU Cooler or Liquid Cooling), because it will run a bit hot under a full load. However... like others have mentioned in various forums... I actually got better, more consistent temps *after* overclocking the CPU to 4.0Ghz... Prior to O.C. my idle temps would sit around 12 degrees and erratically spike to 22, 27, etc...
That said... Overclocked to 4.0Ghz with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, my idle temps are between 12-20 degrees depending on the shift in ambient room temp (most commonly it stays around 18 degrees). At full load (100%) on all 8 cores for 30-minutes (using Prime95 stress tester) the temp never went above 44 degrees. *Max temp is somewhere around 67 degrees I believe). No errors either, so the system is stable enough. I haven't had time to run a 12-24 hour stress test yet, but everyone I've talked to, and all the users posting in overclock forums report that 4.0Ghz is very stable on this CPU, and most are pushing it further. One guy capped his out at 4.7Ghz in a liquid-cooled system! I'll update my review after I've had a chance to run a full 24-hour stress test, but as of now I have had absolutely no issues whatsoever.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Look no further. This is the best CPU in the "bang for your buck" category. Seriously. What else do you need to know other than the overwhelming joy of getting a 8-core 4.0Ghz CPU for the price of a 3.5Ghz CPU!?!? It's a no-brainer. If you can read a motherboard manual to find out how to get into your BIOS settings, then you can figure out the one setting to change the frequency to 4.0Ghz... the rest is done for you. No need to mess with voltages or anything else. Save. Reboot. Enjoy! :)
*** P.S. Don't read any reviews from people who say "This CPU is quiet"... CPUs are SILENT!!! It's a Chip!... I can only assume they are talking about the stock cooler, but who knows. ((shrug))
My buddy's got a 3770k system, right? Interestingly, on stock settings (3.5Ghz, forget even the 4.0Ghz boost), this will benchmark higher in a few of the multithreaded applications than the i7. Now let's say you were to overclock it to 4.5Ghz. Oh, how the performance gap closes... Yeah, people will say that it's much more power hungry than the i7, especially when pushing over 1.4 volts through it, but I like it for what it is: a solid, excellent-for-multitasking-and-gaming, cheap CPU. This thing is HALF the price of the 3770k and, with a little bit of engineering (and liquid cooling), can trade blows with it.
One of the many reasons I got this chip was to experiment with liquid cooling systems. I have a 120mm radiator system now, but I will soon be upgrading to a 400x200mm 100% custom water loop soon. So, talk about knocking on 5Ghz's door. One of Intel's design flaws is the lack of a soldered connection between the CPU die and the package, making cooling the processor much more involved, to say the least. Yeah, a 3770k will OC to over 4Ghz on air, but then it eventually will hit a thermal wall, hard. Of course, with the speed of the i7, you won't really need to push it past that wall, but that's not my point. For any and all overclockers and tinkerers, I recommend either this CPU or the 8350 (the performance vs. price value is slightly lower with the FX-8350, but it can potentially give you slightly lower voltages, and thus, temperatures with your overclocks). You will not be disappointed.
I know what you're thinking. "Those benchmarks you mentioned earlier are just that: only synthetic benchmarks." Well then. To those who may say that AMD is lacking in terms of gaming performance, you are sadly mistaken. I am running Grid 2 at 2560x1440 with near-full settings AT STOCK CLOCKS, and this baby doesn't skip a beat, much less bottleneck my system. OC your unit, and you can truly do some amazing things. Not to mention out-benchmark the 3770k in almost every multithreaded category. But that is irrelevant.
My point?
This is probably the best-valued processor out on the market, in terms of performance vs. the price you'll be paying. I mean, come on! This CPU has been selling for only $145 to $155 lately. The i7s are twice that. Overall, I think that Intel is consistenly overrated and AMD is consistently underrated. Im my humble opinion, you can't go wrong with this processor.

Top reviews from other countries
•The performance to price ratio is excellent.
•I've had no issues playing modern games (e.g., GTA V, Witcher 3, Fallout 4, etc) with this CPU. -Paired with a R9 380, 8 GB of ram.
•No issues with light photo/video editing.
•I was worried about installing the chip to the board, but there is only one right way to put the chip in, due to how the pins are aligned. It will drop in with gravity if it's aligned, then you snap it in with the arm.
Negative
•There is no such thing as "future proofing" but I do have some concerns about the ability to be play next-gen.
• Some reviews indicated that this CPU came in a metal box, mine did not.
•I still have the stock cooler, but I'm nearing the threshold vis-a-vis heat.
Puntos a favor:
* Muy buena relacion precio-rendimiento
* Rendimiento similar en juegos a Intel a un precio considerablemente menor
* Buena capacidad de overclocking (bajo su riesgo)
Puntos en contra:
* Alto consumo energetico (125W)
Very fast, satisfying, smooth, forget my previous review, but some good box, pkg may be provided by AMD. The sticker also provided by AMD to my registered address as per my request of sticker. From Head qtr they have instructed to India to provide me sticker.
The below is my purchase time review
The sticker of AMD LOGO was not there waiting for resolution from supplier reviewed after watching unboxing video on you tube and got noticed that I haven't received the processor logo sticker Received today the item, the packing was very poor, an item worth Rs more than 11000 Indian Rupees was shipped in a very cheap card board box, the packing was so cheap, the processor was shaking inside, so bad packing.
The company AMD PROCESSOR PACKING as shown on photo also very cheap very very poor, they are going to loot India. The quality will be checked after preparation of my desktop system.
Waiting for the motherboard ram, hard disk etc.
Cependant, je ne comprendrai jamais pourquoi la famille des AMD Bulldozer aura été aussi mal reçu étant donné qu' ils sont très abordables et performants, même à l' heure actuelle en taches multithreadées un FX8xxx ou 9xxx est nettement devant un Core i5 (y compris le 6600k sorti 3ans plus tard et 2x plus chère..) dans la plus part des benchmarks et tient même tête à certains i7 (notamment 3770k ou 4770k en fonction des tests) pour un tarif 2,5x moins élevé. Reste les jeux ou les FX sont "mauvais" parait-il ... MAIS largement suffisants pour obtenir du 60Fps constant dans la plus part des titres actuels. Peut être faut-il être réaliste et se demander si les FX sont mauvais en jeu à cause de leur "mauvaise" architecture ou à cause d' une optimisation de la part des éditeurs de jeux actuels qui tendrait vers les processeurs Intel qui domine avec 80% de part du marché (et oui, qui voudrait faire du profit en vendant un jeu orienté vers 20% du marché ?)
