Xeon E3-1245 v3 vs FX-8320E specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1245 v3 beats the FX-8320E in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8320E 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 Xeon E3-1245 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the FX-8320E. A Xeon E3-1245 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8320E CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Xeon E3-1245 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
