Lower TDP rating than other high-end AMD chips, with competitive performance, Compatible with older AMD socket ("AM3+") and motherboards
Lags in single-core tests, Still not as power-efficient as competing Intel chips, which also have on-chip graphics
The FX-8370E pulls down AMD's desktop-CPU power consumption, yet it's almost as speedy as 125-watt CPUs like the FX-8370. It's our favorite from AMD's fall-2014 FX refresh. Read More…...
Abstract: In a sense the computer industry goes through these same type of cycles. Components get more powerful but also tend to get smaller. Once a certain point is reached with the reduction of size a bigger bump in performance can be made by increasing the size ...
Does the new FX-8370E represent a step forward for AMD's FX line of processors? Giving a clear answer is somewhat of a challenge. Our test sample performs about the same as its predecessors at similar clock rates, but draws less power doing so. However, i...
I would like to take this opportunity to thanks AMD for supplying the three FX processors and the motherboard for testing.The new AMD FX 8370 is far from ground breaking. That should not come as a surprise, given the modest 100 MHz increase in turbo speed...

Since the bygone days of the GHz wars, energy efficiency is now a key part in any x86 CPU manufacturer handbook. When designing a CPU, parts can be engineered to either be all-out guns blazing on performance, or it can strike a balance between performance...
Abstract: AMD is refreshing their FX lineup in the waning days of Summer!Let me explain the situation from my point of view. The FX lineup for AM3+ has not done a whole lot since the initial release of the Piledriver based FX-8350 and family (Vishera). Piledriver w...
8 cores under $200, Good Performance, Beats i54670 in most tests
The FX8350 might be a better value, 2 yr old refreshed CPUs
AMD has long controlled the value portion of the sub-$200 processor market. Though the FX series is the latest iteration, the Phenom and Phenom-II processors before it also held down an excellent price to performance ratio, demonstrating the viability...
Let's wrap things up with one of our famous price vs. performance scatter plots. We used AMD's suggested e-tail prices for the FX series and Newegg prices for the rest. On the performance front, we used geometric mean of results from our full test suite—...

Abstract: It has been more than a year since AMD launched its last major update to the top end FX processor line -- the FX-9590. The company has been quiet in the face of Intel's high-end launches, but today AMD is shipping a new CPU that's aimed at multi-core perf...
Abstract: We review the AMD FX 8370 and 8370E processor today. The CPUs tested today have eight physical CPU cores, the fastest SKU will have a base clock of 4000 MHz, and can Turbo towards 4300. And that makes the FX series a multi-threaded high frequency monster....
