AMD FX 8320E 

Released February, 2012
  • 3.2 GHz
  • Quad core
  • Unlocked
7.3 Out of 10

It is not so nice that the FX-8370 is not significantly faster than the older FX-8350 all the while costing an extra $20.
by Josh-Walrath (Sep, 2014)
The value proposition for the first generation AMD A-Series APUs is also compelling: A quad-core CPU and a DirectX® 11 highly-capable gaming GPU on a single-chip with more than 500 GFLOPs of compute power, for under $100 (A8 3850).
