FX-8350 vs Core i3-N305 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-N305 performs better than the FX-8350. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8350 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the FX-8350 has 4 cores. 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-N305. Also, the FX-8350 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-N305 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-N305. The FX-8350 also has slightly more 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-8350 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
