AMD FX-8370 advantages
FX-8350 vs FX-8370 specifications comparison
The graphs below compare the most important features of the FX-8370 and AMD FX-8350 microprocessors. These characteristics, together with an IPC (instructions per cycle) number, determine how well a processor performs. The "Operating frequency" graph uses dark color for base frequency, while lighter area is for additional frequency, provided by Turbo feature. Darker area on the "On-chip cache" graph is for the On-chip L2 cache. Lighter area is for the L3 cache cache. Although the L3 cache cache is usually larger than the On-chip L2 cache, it is always slower.
The number of cores / threads Higher is better |
Operating frequency Higher is better |
On-chip L2 + L3 cache Higher is better |
Thermal Design Power Lower is better |
Current official price Lower is better |
