Intel Core i7-8665U vs AMD FX-8320E

Core i7-8665U vs FX-8320E benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the FX-8320E beats the Core i7-8665U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-8665U 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-8320E has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8665U. A Core i7-8665U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8320E 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 i7-8665U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
