Intel Core i3-6100 vs AMD Athlon X4 760K

Core i3-6100 vs Athlon X4 760K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-6100 performs better than the Athlon X4 760K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 760K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 760K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6100. In terms of cache, the Athlon X4 760K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-6100

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 i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
