Core i7-10610U vs FX-8300 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10610U is faster than the FX-8300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8300 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-8300 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10610U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the FX-8300 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-10610U. 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 i7-10610U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
