FX-9370 vs Xeon E5-2637 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2637 v4 is faster than the FX-9370. Despite this, the FX-9370 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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-9370 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2637 v4. The Xeon E5-2637 v4 outputs less heat than FX-9370 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
