It offers 8 Physical Cores (8 Logical), initially clocked at 4.1GHz, which may go up to 4.3GHz and 8MB of L3 Cache.
Among its many features, Turbo Core and Virtualization are activated and the clock multiplier is unlocked, meaning it can be overclocked easily.
The processor DOES NOT integrated any graphics. and has a rated board TDP of 125W.
Benchmarks indicate its performance is only around 4% better than previous AMD FX-8350 and so powerful Core i5 Processors are still faster.

ASUS Sabertooth 990fx R2.0 Motherboard
Corsair VS650 SMPS
Sapphire HD 7970 Graphiccard
Corsair vengeance 2x4GB RAM
Is it run well????
It's not bad. Though you'll probably start being too long in tooth in a year or two. But then Zen2 will be out and have a good range of mid-tier stuff out.
Can i put this processor to my rig with 550W 80% efficient PSU?
You May check if your mobo and its bios are compatible,i'd do it
this cpu or fx 9370, my psu corsair vs550
NOOO, you can't put a FX-9370 with 550W PSU, and a bad one too?! You could burn your PC, VS Series are really bad, butthey are cheap, and you get what you pay for, I'd say wait for Zen and upgrade your PSU first.
This or the 8350?
go for 8370
8370 doesn't make a big difference, too expensive for less improvement.
Is it good upgrade for me ?
If you are on a budget or don't want to change your motherboard, yes. I'm considering the same. If you are willing to wait and save up some more money, get an AMD Zen CPU when they come out.
For either one, make sure your motherboard can handle it, and you have the right socket!
Hm, i have msi 970a-g43 so it's nooot good, maybe should buy new
From the looks of it, the 970A-G43 can only support a CPU with a wattage of 95 or below. The FX-8370 is 125W and therefore should not be used in your motherboard.
In that case, I would wait until AMD releases their Zen CPUs and upgrade both your motherboard and CPU at the same time. Or if you want, there's Intel.
yes it will be a good upgrade
Looking to upgrade my CPU from an AMD A8-6600k. I have an Asus XM88-e motherboard. Will it run this CPU? Is it a good upgrade? I want a quick enough upgrade
No you cant put this CPU on your motherboard, because they use different sockets. Your CPU uses a FM2 socket, while the FX 8370 uses a AM3+ socket.
Hello Guys! I currently have AMD FX-4100 - is it bad, worth upgrading?
I want to buy the AMD FX-8370 is it worth it? or there are other that i should consider?
its nice upgrade,wait for amd zen cpu….
agreed…. zen may have lower price but it is in 2017 i guess long wait but who knows.
if you want quick upgrade then it is very nice otherwise wait for zen…
Hi guys, the FX-8370 has a 4GHz normal clock and a 4.3Ghz turbo frequency. Those are AMD official FX-8370 specs.
Is it worth me upgrading my fx 6300 to this? as it is the best my motherboard supports I believe, I could be wrong. I have the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
next post is gey
Yes, it's worth upgrading. I don't know why Maester said you also need a GPU upgrade as well.
bati boy
no its not wait for the next gen stuff to come up from amd such as the zen processors
I would honestly wait for a year, because next year will see the arrival of AMD's Zen and hopefully Skylake-E processors, which is what i'm saving up for. right now, the best bang for the buck upgrade for you is a gpu upgrade. something like an r9 280-380, or a gtx 960 are good gpus for around $200, but ive got a GTX 970 that i love, and i think itll hold me steady until the next gen of GPUs come out. if yo uare lucky you can find used or refurbished 970 for $260-300 Hope that this helps.
