Ryzen 7 2700U vs FX-8320E specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the FX-8320E beats the Ryzen 7 2700U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-8320E has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 2700U. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8320E CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The FX-8320E also has significantly more 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
