FX-8300 vs Core i5-1155G7 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1155G7 beats the FX-8300 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8300 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-8300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1155G7.

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-8300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
