Intel Core i3-7020U vs AMD FX-4300

Core i3-7020U vs FX-4300 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the FX-4300 beats the Core i3-7020U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7020U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-4300 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-7020U. A Core i3-7020U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-4300 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-7020U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
