Intel Core i7-3632QM vs AMD FX-8370E

Core i7-3632QM vs FX-8370E comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-8370E performs better than the Core i7-3632QM. Despite this, the Core i7-3632QM 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-8370E has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3632QM. Also, the FX-8370E has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3632QM CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8370E CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-3632QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
