Intel Core i3-7100U vs AMD FX-4300

Core i3-7100U vs FX-4300 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-4300 performs better than the Core i3-7100U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7100U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-4300 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-7100U. A Core i3-7100U 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.

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 i3-7100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
