AMD Athlon Silver 3050U vs Intel Core i3-1215U

Athlon Silver 3050U vs Core i3-1215U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-1215U performs better than the Athlon Silver 3050U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon Silver 3050U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Athlon Silver 3050U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon Silver 3050U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon Silver 3050U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1215U. In terms of cache, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon Silver 3050U. The Core i3-1215U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 Silver 3050U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
