FX-9370 vs Xeon E3-1270 V2 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-9370 performs better than the Xeon E3-1270 V2. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1270 V2 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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-9370 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1270 V2. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the FX-9370 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1270 V2. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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-9370 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
