Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-9370

  • CPU is newer: launch date 4 year(s) 10 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 7 more cores, run more applications at once: 8 vs 1
  • Around 114% higher clock speed: 4.7 GHz vs 2.2 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 65 nm
  • 6x 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
  • 2.3x better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1693 vs 747
  • 14.6x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 6230 vs 426
  • 3.1x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 2981 vs 971
