Intel Core i7-10510U vs AMD FX-8320

Core i7-10510U vs FX-8320 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-8320 performs better than the Core i7-10510U. Despite this, the Core i7-10510U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-8320 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10510U. A Core i7-10510U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8320 CPU because of its significantly 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-8320 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-10510U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-10510U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
