Core i3-1005G1 vs Athlon X4 950 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-1005G1 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 Core i3-1005G1 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon X4 950 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1005G1. Also, the Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-1005G1 CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 950 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon X4 950 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-1005G1
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-1005G1 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
