Athlon II X4 640 vs Athlon 3000G specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon 3000G is faster than the Athlon II X4 640. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X4 640 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Athlon II X4 640 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 Athlon 3000G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X4 640. In terms of cache, the Athlon II X4 640 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon 3000G

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Athlon II X4 640 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
