Intel Pentium Silver J5040 vs AMD FX-770K

Pentium Silver J5040 vs FX-770K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the FX-770K beats the Pentium Silver J5040 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver J5040 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver J5040 has significantly more cores than the FX-770K. Indeed, the Pentium Silver J5040 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the FX-770K. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-770K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver J5040. A Pentium Silver J5040 CPU outputs less heat than a FX-770K CPU because of its 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. For instance, the Pentium Silver J5040 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
