Which cpu is better

Which cpu is better for gaming an amd8320 or amd 8370 or any from the list http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4643

the 8370 has slightly better performance but  i bet if you oc  the 8320 then you could get  it up there.

The 8320 would be better since it is cheaper, and with a good cooler you can usually oc then to even beat a 8370, but I would highly not recommend any AMD fx cpu until zen releases.

 

Also make sure your motherboard can support an 8core cpu, lower end motherboards without a 970/990 chipset might overheat the vrms, or catch fire.

8370. Are you buying a new CPU? What is your budget?

[AresKrieger]

They're the same chip essentially just the 8370 is overclocked and neither is particularly good for gaming

I am buying a new cpu upgrading an amd fx4300 and looking for new cpu if you can recomend one from this list that would be helpful. http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4643

Or for anything at all. The i3 6100 beat the FX 6300 significantly even in rendering. I don't think the 8370 performs much better.

The best option would be to change the motherboard and go for something newer like a haswell i3/i5 you will see huge performance differences, am3+ is five years old now, and your motherboard will not support an 8320/8370.

If you change you will see a huge perf increase

hello,

     8320 is 125w and the 8370 is 95w , the latter has better overclocking capabilities and uses less power at same clock.
