FX-8320 vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is faster than the FX-8320. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8320 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the FX-8320 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the FX-8320. Our comparison shows that the FX-8320 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D outputs less heat than FX-8320 thanks to a slightly 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-8320 has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has significantly more L3 cache compared to the FX-8320.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the FX-8320 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
