Intel Core i3-2100 vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i3-2100 vs Athlon 3000G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Athlon 3000G beats the Core i3-2100 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2100 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 3000G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2100. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i3-2100 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-2100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
