Core i3-4340 vs Athlon 3000G specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon 3000G is faster than the Core i3-4340. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4340 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4340 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon 3000G. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i3-4340 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 i3-4340 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
