AMD Athlon Gold 3150U vs Intel Xeon X3440

Athlon Gold 3150U vs Xeon X3440 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Athlon Gold 3150U beats the Xeon X3440 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X3440 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X3440 has significantly more cores than the Athlon Gold 3150U. Indeed, the Xeon X3440 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon Gold 3150U. It also has more threads than the Athlon Gold 3150U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X3440 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Gold 3150U. Despite this, the Athlon Gold 3150U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Athlon Gold 3150U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X3440 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon X3440 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 Gold 3150U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
