Core i5-6500T vs FX-8350 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-8350 is faster than the Core i5-6500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6500T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the FX-8350 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-8350 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6500T.

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 i5-6500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
