Ryzen 5 1400 vs FX-8320 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1400 is faster than the FX-8320. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8320 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-8320 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. A Ryzen 5 1400 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. In terms of cache, the FX-8320 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
