FX-4300 vs Core i7-4610M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-4300 is faster than the Core i7-4610M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4610M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-4300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4610M. The Core i7-4610M outputs less heat than FX-4300 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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.
