Core i3-6098P vs Athlon Gold 3150U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6098P beats the Athlon Gold 3150U in overall performance. Despite this, the Athlon Gold 3150U 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-6098P has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Gold 3150U. The Athlon Gold 3150U outputs less heat than Core i3-6098P thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon Gold 3150U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-6098P. The Athlon Gold 3150U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i3-6098P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
