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

Core i5-6300U vs Athlon X4 760K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6300U performs better than the Athlon X4 760K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 760K 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 760K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300U.

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 i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
