Core i7-10610U vs FX-8320E comparison

In our benchmarks, the FX-8320E beats the Core i7-10610U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-10610U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-8320E has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10610U. Despite this, the Core i7-10610U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10610U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8320E CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the FX-8320E has 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.
