Vishera Getting a Second Look

When AMD's Vishera platform was first released, the benchmark tests were fairy underwhelming for a 4.0Ghz 8-core processor (FX-8350) when it was put head-to-head with Intel's best bang for the buck 3.5Ghz quad-core (i5-3570K).

This seems to be swaying toward the favor of AMD now that the new BIOS updates and Windows CPU scheduling hot-fixes are available.  Starting with some gaming benchmark tests with overclocking that were done by Tek Syndicate that showed the Vishera beating the i5-3570K and in cases the i7-3770K, especially when streaming.
