Core i5-6300HQ vs FX-770K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6300HQ performs better than the FX-770K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-770K 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 FX-770K. Indeed, the Core i5-6300HQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the FX-770K. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-770K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300HQ. Also, the FX-770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6300HQ 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.

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.
