Core i7-8665U vs FX-9370 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the FX-9370 beats the Core i7-8665U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8665U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count 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 i7-8665U. A Core i7-8665U 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.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-8665U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
