Ryzen 3 1300X vs FX-8320 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-8320 is faster than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the FX-8320 has more threads. According to our data, the Ryzen 3 1300X and FX-8320 have the same clock speed. A Ryzen 3 1300X CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8320 CPU because of its significantly 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 3 1300X. 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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
