Intel Core i3-8145U vs AMD Athlon X4 750K

Core i3-8145U vs Athlon X4 750K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-8145U beats the Athlon X4 750K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 750K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 750K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-8145U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon X4 750K has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8145U

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 i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
