Bottom Line
The AMD FX-8370E processor emphasizes efficiency
With low power consumption and reasonable performance
Lags in single-core tests
Still not as power-efficient as competing Intel chips
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

In the conclusion of this comparison, we can be a lot more firm than in the previous one. If you now have an AMD FX processor, you should consider upgrading to a newer CPU. In almost all benchmarks, you'll gain at least 50% performance, while some modern...
Abstract: That the fastest processors are currently made by Intel is not really a secret, but what is the best choice when you want to spend up to £ 50, £100 or £150? To answer that question we conducted a megatest of 57 current AMD and Intel CPUs. From two to...

8 Cores, Fun and easy to overclock, Relatively lower power/ small performance drop, Great price/performance
Not Steamroller, Not as efficient as other options
Underclocking is not dead it seems, and with a clever, wide turbo which allows the FX-8370e to remain within its TDP, there is only a small performance drop relative to the FX-3850, which can consume a fair bit more power. Though, due to the 95W TDP limit...

Compatible with existing AM3boards, Uses 30w less than previous version, Enough performance for mainstream users
Rapidly hits power limit, which disables the turbo boost, Hard to achieve the claimed 4.3GHz in regular use, in most cases it tops out at 3.6GHz, Uses Piledriver rather than Steamroller technology, Pulls almost 50% more wattage than equivalent Intel Core
When I started testing AMD's FX-8370E I had the horrible suspicion that it might be faulty as the clock speed started at 3.3GHz and didn't seem to increase with Turbo. This meant the performance was significantly lower than the 4.0GHz/4.2GHz FX-8350 – whi...
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...

Reduced TDPs over 125W parts
Existing FX 8350 and FX 8320 parts are better value, Reduced power comes at a fairly significant performance hit in most applications, Nothing new has been presented,
PricingAMD's FX 8370E has an MSRP of $199.99. We found it at Amazon in the USA for $194.99 and at Newegg for $209.99, in the UK Overclockers are selling it for £145.99. A 3 year AMD warranty is provided.SummaryThe FX 8370E isn't a “new” CPU in the typical...
As we noted above, one of the strengths of the AMD platform is its future proofing. In the case of the FX CPUs, many people who bought (as an example) the FX-8350 in 2012 will be able to upgrade to the 8370e or 9590 today after a simple BIOS flash. Of cou...
Eight cores for £140, Reduced 95W TDP, Excels in multithreaded apps, Overclocks well
Lowly singlethread performance, Based on old technology, Not as good for gaming as Core i5
AMD has extended the reach of its eight-core FX line of premium processors by introducing its first efficiency-optimised, 95W parts. The FX-8370E and FX-8320E reduce maximum wattage by lowering the all-core speed when compared to the traditional FX proce...
