AMD FX-8350 Power Consumption, Performance Per Watt

AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Vishera benchmarking with AC power measurements so the Phoronix Test Suite calculates the performance-per-Watt at stock speeds and at 4.60GHz. Benchmarking compared to performance-per-Watt of an AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer at stock speeds and then 4.0GHz and 4.6GHz to match the FX-8350. ALl benchmarking from the same system with the Linux 3.5 kernel and GCC 4.7.2, NVIDIA blob, etc. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.
