FX-8300 vs Core i7-1065G7 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-1065G7 beats the FX-8300 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8300 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-8300 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1065G7. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the FX-8300 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-1065G7. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
