Core i7-5600U vs FX-770K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-5600U is faster than the FX-770K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-770K 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-770K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5600U. Also, the FX-770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-5600U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-770K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the FX-770K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-5600U

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-5600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
