Celeron G5905 vs FX-870K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron G5905 performs better than the FX-870K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-870K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the FX-870K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-870K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G5905.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Celeron G5905 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
