Core i7-8500Y vs FX-770K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8500Y is faster than the FX-770K. Despite this, the FX-770K 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 significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8500Y. Despite this, the Core i7-8500Y has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8500Y 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-8500Y has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
