Core i5-7200U vs FX-770K comparison

In our benchmarks, the FX-770K beats the Core i5-7200U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-7200U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-770K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-7200U. Also, the FX-770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7200U 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. Indeed, the Core i5-7200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
