Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-8370

  • CPU is newer: launch date 5 year(s) 4 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 6 more cores, run more applications at once: 8 vs 2
  • Around 79% higher clock speed: 4.3 GHz vs 2.4 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 65 nm
  • 3x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • 16x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • Around 77% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1624 vs 916
  • 7.3x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 6166 vs 840
