Core i5-7400T vs FX-6300 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-6300 is faster than the Core i5-7400T. Despite this, the Core i5-7400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-7400T has slightly more cores than the FX-6300. Indeed, the Core i5-7400T has 4 cores compared to 3 cores found in the FX-6300. Despite this, the FX-6300 has more threads than the Core i5-7400T. Our comparison shows that the FX-6300 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7400T. The info from our database shows that the FX-6300 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7400T. The FX-6300 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i5-7400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
