Intel Core i3-12100F vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i3-12100F vs Athlon 3000G benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-12100F performs better than the Athlon 3000G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 3000G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-12100F has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon 3000G that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon 3000G. Our comparison shows that the Athlon 3000G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-12100F. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i3-12100F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i3-12100F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
