Athlon II X2 220 vs Athlon Silver 3050e comparison

In our benchmarks, the Athlon II X2 220 beats the Athlon Silver 3050e in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon Silver 3050e in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Athlon Silver 3050e has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon II X2 220 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 3050e. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches

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 Athlon II X2 220 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
