FX-6300 vs Core i7-4900MQ specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4900MQ is faster than the FX-6300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-6300 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4900MQ has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the FX-6300 that has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the FX-6300. Our comparison shows that the FX-6300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4900MQ. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i7-4900MQ 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. In terms of cache, the FX-6300 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4900MQ. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.
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.
