Intel Core i5-6300HQ vs AMD Athlon X4 760K

Core i5-6300HQ vs Athlon X4 760K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6300HQ beats the Athlon X4 760K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 760K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6300HQ has significantly more cores than the Athlon X4 760K. Indeed, the Core i5-6300HQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon X4 760K. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 760K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6300HQ.

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. For instance, the Core i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
