Now time to review an all time legend. The FX 8370, the big brother to the 8 core beast of a processor; the FX 8350. The 8370 has 8MB of L3 cache, and 4x2MB of L2 cache, 8 physical cores and has a speed of 4 Ghz (turbos to 4.3 Ghz). Paper specs are all good, but the real test is when it is in the field, doing what it is built for, gaming. The 8370, paired with an R9 390 can handle EVERY game I have thrown at it so far, maxing out most of them. constant 80 min FPS at 1080p. Just look at the benchmarks. Now, all the points I have made have been "pros", but there are rarely any pros without some cons. The FX 8370 has a high power consumption, 125w TDP, with high temps (60 degrees during load) using the stock CPU cooler. This issue can be easily solve by picking up a Hyper Evo 212 cooler for around 30 bucks. The FX 8370 also lacks single threaded performance, but this is mostly made up by the 8 cores.
Other than that, the FX 8370 is an incredible processor at an incredible price. Great for gaming, everyday browsing, and your wallet. Don't worry though, this isn't the last of the 8370, stay tuned to hopefully see a comparison between the 8370 and the I5 4690k. Thanks for you're time, have a nice day!
