Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD FX-8370 was a processor once found in many systems. It was based on the Vishera architecture, an evolution of the Bulldozer design. With its eight physical cores, this chip offered a considerable multitasking capability. Many users could easily run multiple applications in parallel.

A particularly positive feature was its generous 8 MB L3 cache. This large cache significantly supported fast data processing and improved access times. Enthusiasts also appreciated the considerable overclocking potential of the AMD FX-8370. It enabled them to get even more performance out of the system.

This processor was manufactured using the 32-nanometer process, a typical manufacturing step of its era. At the time, the AMD FX-8370 was considered a solid choice. It delivered a good balance of core count and performance for various applications. The maximum memory bandwidth of 30 GB/s also contributed to the overall performance.

  • Eight physical cores for multitasking
  • Generous 8 MB L3 cache
  • Considerable overclocking potential
  • Solid performance for applications then
