Core i5-4570T vs FX-4300 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4570T is faster than the FX-4300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-4300 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 slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4570T. A Core i5-4570T 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the FX-4300 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-4570T. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i5-4570T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
