FX-8370 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U performs better than the FX-8370. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8370 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-8370 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Also, the FX-8370 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U outputs less heat than FX-8370 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 FX-8370 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. The FX-8370 also has significantly more 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-8370 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
