Ryzen 5 1400 vs FX-9370 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the FX-9370 beats the Ryzen 5 1400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 1400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-9370 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 1400. A Ryzen 5 1400 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. In terms of cache, the FX-9370 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.
