FX-8120 vs Core i7-1195G7 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-1195G7 beats the FX-8120 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8120 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-8120 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1195G7. The Core i7-1195G7 outputs less heat than FX-8120 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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-8120 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
