Core i7-4720HQ vs FX-8120 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-8120 performs better than the Core i7-4720HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4720HQ in all gaming tests too.
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-8120 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4720HQ. A Core i7-4720HQ CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8120 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-8120 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4720HQ. The FX-8120 also has slightly more L3 cache.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-4720HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
