AMD FX-8350 vs Intel Core i3-N300

FX-8350 vs Core i3-N300 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-N300 is faster than the FX-8350. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8350 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-N300 has significantly more cores than the FX-8350. Indeed, the Core i3-N300 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the FX-8350. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-8350 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N300. Also, the FX-8350 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-N300 outputs less heat than FX-8350 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-8350 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-N300. The FX-8350 also has slightly more 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-8350 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
