Technical stuff about changes from BD to PD if interested here. |
The memory controller is still terrible from what I've seen, so they're fixing some things but leaving others to fester. I question this decision but Piledriver's FX series should be decent enough and good if you disable one core per module if you plan to use it for gaming/lightly threaded work.
