AMD 8350 vs 9370

[Dabombinable]

Those are just numbers they don't mean anything unless you can get me benchmarks with the applications I use (and support skylake, my audio suite doesn't support skylake). Also I am not spending extra on ddr4 also the 8350 has better price to performance than the 6600k

Look again, it falls behind only in encryption and compressing files. Though of course cost is always an issue.

Yes cost IS an issue. Why do you think I am going AMD? Because AMD has the best Price to Performance ratio at $115. Plus if I want to use an Intel proc. then I would use my Xeon Workstation. I can't afford a Xeon right now so I am going AMD for this build.

I have a Xeon E3 1220 V3. I have a budget of about $200, No I don't have a mobo yet.

The Xeon E3-1220v3 isn't hyperthreaded, it's basically an i5 with support for ECC. People here are recommending the Xeon E3-1231v3, which is hyperthreaded, basically an i7-4790 without a GPU and support for ECC.

The xeon 1220 v3 you got is quad core-no hyperthreading, thats why yours friends 8350 pulls ahead in full core utilization workloads.

The xeon 1230-1231 v3 is hyperthreaded (i7 like without igpu) , this is the sweet spot in price-performance for the xeon cpu's (or E5 x99, but these are

more professional)

 

If you must get an FX, get the  8320E if you are on a budget, or the 8370 otherwise, since it has a more recent realese date, and may have better overclock results

No matter the Release date all FX cpus have 2011 stamped ontop

well the 8370 is a 8350 with some newer "tweaks" and higher turbo freq, and it came out at 2014, but nothing more worth-mentioning here

Yeah I am prolly just go with the 8350 since it is cheaper and just oc it to 4.8 or 5 ghz if I can reach it

A guy here on the forum told me his FX-8370 reached 4.7 at stock voltage, but that could be luck?

[Godlygamer23]

get a xeon 1231v3. it will beat amd 8 core by miles

In multi-threaded tasks, no.

I only had to bump my 6300 (Back when I still had it) to 1.5V but I could get it to touch 5GHz on a super cheap Water Cooler but never kept it there for everyday usage

And you can confirm stability with what stress test? IBT AVX? AIDA 64? 24 hours of prime? If you have the chance, get a 8370E low power draw can overclock well 8350 isn't viable anymore, to really get it going you need to OC and it's only recommended to use ASUS sabretooth or ROG board. Why? People in the owners forum keep having boards die yet the asus range seem to keep holding strong and getting the best clocks.

The power draw of the 8370E isn't actually lower than that of an 8370. It just has a lower base clock with the same boost clock.

All I said was low power draw in that post.

Awesome!

No Dab, That's not what I said... All I said was it has low power draw...

And I'm saying this, ITS POWER DRAW ISN'T ANY LOWER THAN THAT OF AN fx 8370.

You sure?

[Dabombinable]

Lower base clock......look at the performance in comparison to an 8370.

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_fx_8370_and_8370e_processor_review,12.html

The base clock makes the 8370E worse than the 8370 to achieve a lower power consumption. Even the 8150 is faster.

[JustCallMeVlad]

If they were clocked the same I'm sure the e would consume less power

[Dabombinable]

It won't, you just need to look at the base clock to see why it consumes less power-it sacrifices performance to the point that you might as well be using the 8150.

The 8370E still turbos up to where the 8370 turbos. It is also a 95W chip and the 8370 is a 125W chip.

And it still performs worse, with an FX 8150 beating it. Just do not worry about the E series chips, and go for the standard FX 8370.

Enough said, the FX 8370E is worse than the 8370 due to the lower base clock.
