Athlon 3000G vs Athlon X4 860K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Athlon 3000G beats the Athlon X4 860K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 860K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 860K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon 3000G. A Athlon 3000G CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 860K CPU because of its 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 Athlon X4 860K has significantly more L2 cache than the Athlon 3000G

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Athlon 3000G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
