Intel Core i7-7660U vs AMD Athlon X4 760K

Core i7-7660U vs Athlon X4 760K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7660U is faster than the Athlon X4 760K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 760K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 760K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7660U.

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 i7-7660U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
