Intel Core i7-7600U vs AMD FX-4300

Core i7-7600U vs FX-4300 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-4300 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-4300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7600U. A Core i7-7600U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-4300 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 i7-7600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
