Ryzen 3 2300U vs FX-9370 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-9370 is faster than the Ryzen 3 2300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2300U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the FX-9370 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-9370 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 2300U. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-9370 CPU because of its 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-9370 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 2300U. The FX-9370 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
