Core i5-5257U vs FX-770K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-5257U is faster than the FX-770K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-770K 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. Our comparison shows that the FX-770K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-5257U. Also, the FX-770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-5257U 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. In terms of cache, the FX-770K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-5257U

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 i5-5257U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
