AMD Athlon 620e vs AMD Athlon 760K: Comparison
Athlon 620e vs Athlon 760K: the p-core base clock difference
P-core base clock is the dividing line, Athlon 620e 2.7 GHz against Athlon 760K 3.8 GHz. They differ on tdp too, 45 W on the Athlon 620e versus 100 W on the Athlon 760K. There is a split on socket as well, AM3 on the Athlon 620e versus FM2 on the Athlon 760K. Unlocked multiplier is not the same on both, No on the Athlon 620e versus Yes on the Athlon 760K. There is a split on base power as well, 45 W on the Athlon 620e versus 100 W on the Athlon 760K. Memory type is not the same on both, DDR3 on the Athlon 620e versus Not Listed on the Athlon 760K. They differ on retail availability too, Tray OEM on the Athlon 620e versus Boxed Retail on the Athlon 760K.
Who each one is for
The Athlon 620e suits Athlon platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is not built for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds. Buy the Athlon 760K for Athlon platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is not the pick for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and integrated graphics read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 6 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Socket Status the same on the Athlon 620e and Athlon 760K?
It is. Both are listed at End of Life, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
