AMD's "Future-Proof" FX-8370 in 2020 (CPU Benchmarks, Overclocking, & Revisit)
14,141AMD's FX-8370 CPU was supposed to be future-proof with its 8 "cores," so we're benchmarking the Bulldozer / Piledriver FX-8370 in 2020 vs. AMD Ryzen CPUs and Intel 10-series CPUs.

The AMD FX CPUs were lackluster enough that, in their later years, most Intel CPU reviews were entirely Intel vs. Intel (like the 6700K, 6600K, 4790K, 4690K). AMD didn't really show up to the fight. Now, it's almost going the other direction in some tests. The Intel 10-series CPUs have become competitive enough to keep 14nm in the ring for a while longer, but mostly in gaming workloads. As Intel works on getting its newer architectures together, AMD is gaining ground each launch. In production tests, it is often just AMD showing up to the fight. Today, we're going backwards in time to a different era for AMD, where the company delivered one lackluster product after another, to see how the advertising has held-up to reality. It's been a major turn-around for the company, and to really put into perspective how big the changes have been, we should look back to the AMD FX-8370 CPU vs. AMD Ryzen 3700X, 3600, 3900X, and Intel i5-10600K, 10900K, and similar CPUs.
