Intel Core i7-7700HQ vs AMD FX-9370

Core i7-7700HQ vs FX-9370 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-9370 is faster than the Core i7-7700HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-9370 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7700HQ. A Core i7-7700HQ CPU outputs less heat than a FX-9370 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 i7-7700HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
