AMD FX-8320E Performance On Linux

Depending upon the particular scientific test, sometimes AMD CPUs perform very well and hold their ground.

John The Ripper has long ran well on AMD CPUs and in some scenarios these AMD FX CPUs can beat out the Core i7 4790K Devil's Canyon configuration.

The FX-8320E was able to outperform the i3-4130 with x264 video encoding and when overclocked to 4.4GHz did surpass the i5-4670.
