See full details| | Intel Core i3 4330 vs AMD FX 9590 |
| | Has a built-in GPU Yes | | Is hyperthreaded Yes |
| | Much lower typical power consumption 43.88W | | Newer manufacturing process 22 nms |
by PCMag (Jun, 2014)Hyper-Threading: While the Core i3-4330 isn't a true quad-core chip, it supports Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, which allows the chip to execute four threads across two physical CPU cores.
| | Much more l2 cache 8 MB | | Much higher clock speed 4.7 GHz |
| | Is unlocked Yes | | More cores 8 |
by hassan-mujtaba (Jun, 2014)The Steamroller architecture which is a viable option for APUs has been built around a 28nm node from GlobalFoundaries which sacrifices clock speed to deliver more performance per clock.
