Core i3-8145U vs FX-770K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8145U is faster than the FX-770K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-770K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-770K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-8145U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i3-8145U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-770K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the FX-770K has more L2 cache than the Core i3-8145U

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
