Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-9370

  • CPU is newer: launch date 4 year(s) 9 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 4 more cores, run more applications at once: 8 vs 4
  • Around 124% higher clock speed: 4.7 GHz vs 2.1 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 65 nm
  • 4x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • 4x more L3 cache, more data can be stored in the L3 cache for quick access later
  • 2x better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1693 vs 841
  • 4.3x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 6230 vs 1455
