hello guys,
I need help . I am going to buy a new PC . I am little confuse about processor between AMD FX-8350 and AMD FX-8370E. Which one is more efficient.

The 8370E is higher binned and a 'better' CPU. CPUs are individual parts, and have minor manufacturing differences. The power efficiency of the 8370E should be greater if you do not overclock it.

You may be unaware but AMD Zen is set to release in Q4 2016, I'm not sure about your situation, but it may be worth waiting for as the platform for these FX processors are outdated. Regardless, I would go for the 8350 as they tend to overclock better, with better single-core performance, something in which some games rely heavily on.

The release date is floating. The last I heard, it had been delayed to 2017 Q1. If you are buying and building a new system today, if budget allows and you are using it for gaming, then there seems no point getting other than Intel.

I agree, but his mind seems to be set set on AMD given his question. Intel is the way to go, no doubt.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

Perhaps not. Can't hurt to point things out. Maybe the OP already has a motherboard, and if so we need to know which one. Many work OK with a FX4??? or FX 63??? but are totally unsuitable for a FX83??, even an E version.

The 8370E is more efficient but performs more like a 8320E. The 8350 performs like a 8370.

However, a lot of that goes out the window if you overclock it.
