Core i5-4570 vs FX-8370E comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-8370E performs better than the Core i5-4570. Despite this, the Core i5-4570 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the FX-8370E has more threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-8370E has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4570. Also, the FX-8370E has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4570 CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8370E CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-4570 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
