Intel Core i5-760 vs AMD Athlon X4 860K

Core i5-760 vs Athlon X4 860K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Athlon X4 860K beats the Core i5-760 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-760 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-760 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Athlon X4 860K has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon X4 860K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon X4 860K has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-760

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 i5-760 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
