FX-8370E Details

Ranked #660 of 2060 in overall performance, the AMD FX-8370E delivers a benchmark score of 5249, showcasing a processor that, while outdated by modern standards, still holds its own in certain entry-level applications. Its single-core score of 5553 places it at #511, indicating strong performance in applications that rely heavily on clock speed and single-threaded efficiency. This is particularly notable given the processor’s 2014 launch date, which positions it as a relic in today’s computing landscape. Despite its age, the FX-8370E competes with some modern mid-range CPUs like the Core i5-10300H and Ryzen 3 PRO 1300, though it falls behind leaders such as the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Core Ultra 9 285K in both single-core and multicore domains.

At the heart of the FX-8370E is AMD’s Vishera architecture, built on a 22 nm process and featuring a dual-core design with a base frequency of 3.2 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz. The processor supports up to 32 GB of DDR3 memory at speeds up to 1866 MT/s, with a dual-channel memory bus enabling a peak bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. It operates within a 53 W TDP and uses the FCLGA1150 socket, making it compatible with a range of AMD 700, 800, and 900 series chipsets. The chip includes 7.629 MiB of L3 cache, a sizeable cache for its generation, though it's shared among only two cores.

Integrated graphics are a notable feature of the FX-8370E, with the HD Graphics unit providing basic display support. It supports up to three displays at a maximum frequency of 1150 MHz, with an integrated GPU base frequency of 350 MHz and a maximum memory allocation of 1.7 GB. While not designed for gaming or high-resolution video, it enables basic multimedia use without requiring a discrete GPU. The processor also includes a bundled cooler, simplifying installation for users.

In terms of features, the FX-8370E supports a wide range of instruction sets including AVX, AVX2, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AES-NI, making it suitable for tasks involving encryption, media encoding, and scientific calculations. Virtualization technologies such as AMD-V and EPT are present, allowing for efficient virtual machine operation. However, the lack of simultaneous multithreading and a locked multiplier limits its flexibility compared to modern processors.

As of March 2026, the FX-8370E is best suited for legacy systems or low-cost builds where integrated graphics and affordability are priorities. While it no longer competes with current-generation CPUs in terms of raw performance, its availability and low cost make it a viable option for non-demanding workloads such as office applications, web browsing, and light content creation. Its 2014 launch date and 22 nm process node highlight its place in computing history, but its performance remains relevant in niche scenarios.
