FX-8320E vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U is faster than the FX-8320E. Despite this, the FX-8320E has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the FX-8320E has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the FX-8320E. Our comparison shows that the FX-8320E has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U outputs less heat than FX-8320E thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has significantly more L2 cache than the FX-8320E. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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-8320E has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
