      72.7 (+20.5%)

      FX-8350

      57.8

      Performance in games and similar applications, according to our tests.

      The performance of 4 cores, if any, and performance per core has the greatest impact on the result, since most games do not fully use more than 4 cores.

      The speed of caches and working with RAM is also important.

      Core i5-8400

      72 (+18. 6%)

      FX-8350

      58.6

      Performance in day-to-day activities like browsing and office applications.

      The performance of 1 core has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications use only one, ignoring the rest.

      Similarly, many professional applications such as various CADs ignore multi-threaded performance.

      44.1 (+20.4%)

      FX-8350

      Performance in resource-intensive tasks loading a maximum of 8 cores.

      The performance of all cores and their number have the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications willingly use all the cores and increase the speed accordingly.

      At the same time, certain periods of work can be demanding on the performance of one or two cores, for example, applying filters in the editor.

      Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems with and without overclocking. Thus, you see the average values ​​corresponding to the processor.

      Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with few fast cores and low memory latency will be fine for the vast majority of games, but will be inferior to a system with a lot of slow cores in a rendering scenario.

      We believe that a minimum of 4/4 (4 physical cores and 4 threads) processor is suitable for a budget gaming PC. At the same time, some games can load it at 100%, slow down and freeze, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a drop in FPS.

      Ideally, the budget shopper should aim for a minimum of 4/8 and 6/6. A gamer with a big budget can choose between 6/12, 8/8 and 8/16. Processors with 10 and 12 cores can perform well in games with high frequency and fast memory, but are overkill for such tasks. Also, buying for the future is a dubious undertaking, since in a few years many slow cores may not provide sufficient gaming performance.

      When choosing a processor for your work, consider how many cores your programs use. For example, photo and video editors can use 1-2 cores when working with filtering, and rendering or converting in the same editors already uses all threads.

      Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems both with overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum). A typical result is shown in the middle, the more filled in the color bar, the better the average result among all tested systems.

      Benchmarks

      Benchmarks were run on stock hardware, that is, without overclocking and with factory settings. Therefore, on overclocked systems, the points can noticeably differ upwards. Also, small performance changes may be due to the BIOS version.
