Intel Core i7-7600U vs AMD FX-4130

Core i7-7600U vs FX-4130 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-4130 is faster than the Core i7-7600U. Despite this, the Core i7-7600U 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. Our comparison shows that the FX-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7600U. A Core i7-7600U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-4130 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 i7-7600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
