FX-8320 vs FX-8370 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the FX-8370 beats the FX-8320 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8320 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-8370 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the FX-8320. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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. Indeed, the FX-8320 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
