Xeon X5570 vs FX-8370E benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5570 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 but the FX-8370E has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-8370E has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon X5570. Also, the FX-8370E has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 Xeon X5570. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. For instance, the Xeon X5570 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
