Intel Core i7-8565U vs AMD FX-8320

Core i7-8565U vs FX-8320 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the FX-8320 beats the Core i7-8565U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8565U 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 FX-8320 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8565U. A Core i7-8565U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8320 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the FX-8320 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8565U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i7-8565U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
