Intel Core i3-4005U vs AMD Athlon Silver 3050e

Core i3-4005U vs Athlon Silver 3050e specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon Silver 3050e is faster than the Core i3-4005U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4005U 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4005U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 3050e. The Athlon Silver 3050e outputs less heat than Core i3-4005U 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 i3-4005U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
