Core i3-1115G4 vs FX-8150 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-8150 is faster than the Core i3-1115G4. Despite this, the Core i3-1115G4 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the FX-8150 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-1115G4 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1115G4. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-8150 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1115G4. A Core i3-1115G4 CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8150 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the FX-8150 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-1115G4. The FX-8150 also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-1115G4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
