FX-4300 vs Core i5-750 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-750 performs better than the FX-4300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-4300 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-750 has significantly more cores than the FX-4300. Indeed, the Core i5-750 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the FX-4300. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-4300 has a much higher clock speed than the Core i5-750. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 FX-4300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
