Intel Core i3-4150T vs AMD Athlon Silver 3050U

Core i3-4150T vs Athlon Silver 3050U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4150T beats the Athlon Silver 3050U in overall performance. Despite this, the Athlon Silver 3050U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-4150T has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4150T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 3050U. The Athlon Silver 3050U outputs less heat than Core i3-4150T 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 i3-4150T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
