Core i3-4370 vs Athlon 3000G benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4370 performs better than the Athlon 3000G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 3000G 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 i3-4370 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon 3000G. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i3-4370 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-4370 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
