Intel Core i3-6100T vs AMD FX-8320E

Core i3-6100T vs FX-8320E benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-8320E is faster than the Core i3-6100T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the FX-8320E has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-6100T that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-6100T. According to our data, the Core i3-6100T and FX-8320E have the same clock speed. A Core i3-6100T CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8320E CPU because of its significantly 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 i3-6100T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
