Athlon X4 950 vs Athlon Gold 3150U comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon Gold 3150U performs better than the Athlon X4 950. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 950 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Athlon X4 950 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon Gold 3150U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 950 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Gold 3150U. Also, the Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Athlon Gold 3150U outputs less heat than Athlon X4 950 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Athlon X4 950 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon Gold 3150U
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. For instance, the Athlon X4 950 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
