Eight-Core AM3+ Desktop Processor

The AMD FX-9370 is an eight-core desktop processor built on the 32nm Vishera architecture for the Socket AM3+ platform. It operates at a base frequency of 4.4 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.7 GHz and features 8MB of L3 cache. The processor has a thermal design power of 220W and is sold without a cooling device.

Suited For Enthusiast Multi-Threaded Workloads

This CPU suits enthusiasts running heavily threaded applications or multi-tasking scenarios that can utilise eight integer cores. It supports 64-bit instruction sets, hardware virtualisation and HyperTransport technology. Builders needing lower power consumption, integrated graphics or modern memory controllers should consider alternative platforms.

High Frequency Headroom

The 4.4 GHz base clock and 4.7 GHz turbo provide substantial frequency headroom for compute-intensive tasks. The 220W TDP demands robust motherboard power delivery and high-capacity cooling to sustain boost states. Performance scales with thread count; lightly threaded workloads will not fully utilise the eight-core design.

Questions about this item

Which motherboards support this CPU?

The processor fits Socket AM3+ motherboards with a chipset that supports 220W TDP; check the board vendor's CPU support list for BIOS versions that enable the 4.4 GHz base and 4.7 GHz turbo speeds.

What cooling is required for the 220W thermal rating?

A high-performance air cooler or liquid loop rated for at least 220W is needed; the box contains the processor only, so a separate cooler must be purchased.

Can I run 64-bit operating systems and virtual machines?

Yes, the 64-bit instruction set and hardware virtualization support allow 64-bit Windows or Linux and guest VMs on compatible hypervisors.
