FX-8150 vs FX-8370E benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-8370E performs better than the FX-8150. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8150 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-8150 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the FX-8370E. The FX-8370E outputs less heat than FX-8150 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the FX-8150 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
