Core i7-8565U vs FX-8350 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-8350 is faster than the Core i7-8565U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8565U 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-8350 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8565U. The info from our database shows that the FX-8350 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-8565U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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