Intel Core i3-1005G1 vs AMD Athlon Gold 3150U

Core i3-1005G1 vs Athlon Gold 3150U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon Gold 3150U is faster than the Core i3-1005G1. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1005G1 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon Gold 3150U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1005G1. Despite this, the Core i3-1005G1 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Athlon Gold 3150U has more L2 cache than the Core i3-1005G1. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Core i3-1005G1 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
