AMD FX-6300 vs Intel Core i3-4150

FX-6300 vs Core i3-4150 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-6300 is faster than the Core i3-4150. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4150 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the FX-6300 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4150. Indeed, the FX-6300 has 3 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4150. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4150. In terms of clock speed, the FX-6300 and Core i3-4150 are identical in this regard. The Core i3-4150 outputs less heat than FX-6300 thanks to a 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 FX-6300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
