Suggestions on performance testing the FX 8350 chip on this install are
welcome.
For an open source multithreaded CPU load with a handy benchmark mode,
install povray, then run:
povray -benchmark
and compare the resulting time in seconds with:
https://openbenchmarking.org/showdown/pts/povray
(FX-8350 listed as 812 seconds.)
Your cpuinfo suggests that all 8 processors are detected. The "cpu
cores" might refer to the four "modules" of this package, each with two
integer and one floating point unit. POV-Ray is FPU intensive so expect
quad-core performance.
Kind regards,
