A10-6700 vs Athlon 3000G specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon 3000G is faster than the A10-6700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-6700 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A10-6700 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Athlon 3000G has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon 3000G. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than A10-6700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A10-6700 has significantly more L2 cache than the Athlon 3000G

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. For instance, the A10-6700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
