Intel Core i3-4010U vs AMD Athlon Silver 3050e

Core i3-4010U vs Athlon Silver 3050e benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4010U beats the Athlon Silver 3050e in overall performance. Despite this, the Athlon Silver 3050e has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4010U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 3050e. The Athlon Silver 3050e outputs less heat than Core i3-4010U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-4010U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
