Athlon 3000G vs Athlon X4 950 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon 3000G is faster than the Athlon X4 950. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 950 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Athlon X4 950 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Athlon 3000G has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Athlon 3000G and Athlon X4 950 are identical in this regard. A Athlon 3000G CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 950 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 950 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.
