Core i7-6600U vs FX-770K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-770K is faster than the Core i7-6600U. Despite this, the Core i7-6600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i7-6600U. Also, the FX-770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6600U 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.

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 i7-6600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
