Ryzen 7 2700U vs FX-8370E comparison

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

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-8370E has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Also, the FX-8370E has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8370E CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the FX-8370E has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 2700U. The FX-8370E also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
