Ryzen 7 2700U vs FX-8370 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-8370 performs better than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-8370 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U. Also, the FX-8370 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8370 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-8370 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 2700U. The FX-8370 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.
