Core i5-7260U vs FX-770K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the FX-770K beats the Core i5-7260U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7260U 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. Our comparison shows that the FX-770K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7260U. Also, the FX-770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7260U 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.

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 i5-7260U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
