FX-6300 vs Core i5-4570 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4570 is faster than the FX-6300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-6300 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-4570 has slightly more cores than the FX-6300. Indeed, the Core i5-4570 has 4 cores compared to 3 cores found in the FX-6300. Despite this, the FX-6300 has more threads than the Core i5-4570. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-6300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4570. Also, the FX-6300 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4570 outputs less heat than FX-6300 thanks to a slightly 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.
