FX-6300 vs Athlon X4 870K comparison
In our benchmarks, the FX-6300 beats the Athlon X4 870K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 870K in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the FX-6300 has significantly more cores with 3 cores compared to the Athlon X4 870K that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon X4 870K. Our comparison shows that the Athlon X4 870K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the FX-6300. Also, the Athlon X4 870K has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the FX-6300 has significantly more L2 cache than the Athlon X4 870K
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 FX-6300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
