Core i3-3220 vs FX-770K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3220 performs better than the FX-770K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-770K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-770K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-3220. A Core i3-3220 CPU outputs less heat than a FX-770K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i3-3220 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
