Core i3-3220 vs Athlon Silver 7120U specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Athlon Silver 7120U beats the Core i3-3220 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3220 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-3220 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-3220 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 7120U. The Athlon Silver 7120U outputs less heat than Core i3-3220 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 i3-3220 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
