FX-4100 vs Core i7-5600U comparison
In our benchmarks, the FX-4100 beats the Core i7-5600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5600U 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. Our comparison shows that the FX-4100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5600U. Also, the FX-4100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-5600U outputs less heat than FX-4100 thanks to a 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-4100 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-5600U. The FX-4100 also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 FX-4100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
