AMD Athlon Silver 3050e
The Athlon Silver 3050e is a 2 core CPU from AMD released in 2020. This chip has a bad overall score with 687 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is an average processor for gaming, with a score of 1472 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Athlon Silver 3050e scores 499 points and 480 points respectively. Indeed, this is a bad rating for very heavy workloads.
The Athlon Silver 3050e has 2 cores and 4 threads. This CPU makes use of simultaneous multithreading technology to improve performance on parallel tasks. Each physical CPU core is divided into multiple logical processors. This AMD CPU has a clock speed of 1.4 GHz and a turbo speed of 2.8 GHz : a higher clock speed that can be reached when thermals and power delivery allow.
As for memory, the Athlon Silver 3050e makes use of DDR4 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 2 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled.
In terms of cache, the Athlon Silver 3050e has 1 MiB of level 2 cache and 4 MiB of level 3 cache. This is a fast memory located close to the processor, which stores copies of frequently used data from main memory.
This CPU has fast connectivity with support for PCI-Express Gen 3. The faster the PCIe link, the better. This allows for better performance with GPUs and NVME SSDs.
Power and thermals for the AMD Athlon Silver 3050e CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 6 watts. This measures the amount of heat the processor produces when running at full load. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
