AIDA64
AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for home users. AIDA64 Extreme Edition provides a wide range of features to assist in overclocking, hardware error diagnosis, stress testing, and sensor monitoring. It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. AIDA64 is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Moving over to the memory bandwidth and performance, the FX 8350 was just below the middle mark when compared against the other processors. Obviously the 3960X was at the bottom due to its quad-channel technology, but the 8150 was the only other processor below the 8350. The overclock helped to open up some more bandwidth but the memory controller on Ivy Bridge and through use of the Z77 chipset really is a hard one to beat.
