Core i5-760 vs FX-6100 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-760 beats the FX-6100 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-6100 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-760 has slightly more cores with 4 cores whereas the FX-6100 has 3 cores. Despite this, the FX-6100 has more threads than the Core i5-760. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. The info from our database shows that the FX-6100 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-760. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
