AMD fx- 8320 vs fx-8320e

[Belo1301]

What to buy the normal fx-8320 si 90 $ cheper in croatia but what is bettter?

[WoodenMarker]

There's little to no difference between the two other than factory settings.

[ZetZet]

of course get a normal one. The e version is just crippled to save power.

[QuadNine]

the 8320e is just a lower power consumption, by lowering the base clock, but keeping the boost clock, If you dont care about power of heat go for the regular 8320.

Why do you keep making these topics? You even said you bought the 8320e three days ago!

 

Ok i bought the fx -8320 e and im going to overclick it

you've been answered here, now stop making useless threads about this:

The 8320E is more newly manufactured, so may perform a wee bit better in terms of overclocking.  Otherwise the only tangible difference is the default clock speeds/turbo speeds.

it's not better it's a lower bin it being an underclocked and undervolted part so it will very likely be the worst FX chips in regards to overclocking it being the lowest binned part.

I've seen people tend to report higher Oc's on the 8320E than the 8320, but there's not a ton of data floating around.  

 

Silicon lottery is still the silicon lottery.  imo 8320E is probably binned higher to try and make it look as energy efficient as possible.  The 8320E, 8370  and 8370E all tend to show lower power consumption at the same clock speeds than their predecessors.

seen from that angle...maybe...i'd pick the cheapest FX 8 core available to me honestly...but i'd rather have an i5-4440 and an H81 or B85 motherboard instead.

^ I'm guessing 8320e's are higher binned as well.

They are both the same. They have the same number of transistors, Cache, architecture etc ... 
The only difference is (as everyone else specified) is the base clock of the 8320e being lower (to achive the 95w TDP)

at 100% usage full speed both should be the same BUT at lower speed the 8320 will a tiny tiny advantage speed wise. 
On the other hand though at lower speed the 8320e will have lower power consumption advantage. Let say you might save between 5 and 10$ per year of electricity (also depends on where you live)

 

If you want to overclock just use the cheapest since passed the original specs they are the same. Its just a trick by AMD to sell more CPU...

could very well be but i would expect the difference to be so minimal that IMHO going with the cheapest between the two is probably the wisest choice.
