Intel Core i3-8350K vs AMD FX-9370

Core i3-8350K vs FX-9370 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-8350K beats the FX-9370 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-9370 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the FX-9370 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-9370 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8350K. A Core i3-8350K CPU outputs less heat than a FX-9370 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the FX-9370 has more L2 cache than the Core i3-8350K. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i3-8350K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
