Core i5-760 vs FX-8350 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-8350 is faster than the Core i5-760. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-760 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the FX-8350 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-8350 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. Also, the FX-8350 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-760 CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8350 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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 FX-8350 has significantly 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.
