I guarantee you an FX-8370 isn't even close to being the fastest CPU even at 10 GHz. I bet most desktop CPUs you can buy nowadays will be faster out of the box.

It's embarrassing how slow that thing is compared to CPUs 2 years ago...

The video below compares 8150 against CPUs from 2020 (i.e. no 5900x or 12900KS), includes data from 8370.

Tell me what your measure of fast is?
Does it matter? A modern CPU at 5.5ghz will outperform an 8 year old CPU overlocked to 10ghz on just about any reasonable workload even if it’s single threaded.
Do you have any data to back up your claims?
