Intel Core i3-6100T vs AMD Athlon Silver 3050U

Core i3-6100T vs Athlon Silver 3050U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon Silver 3050U is faster than the Core i3-6100T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-6100T has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-6100T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 3050U. The Athlon Silver 3050U outputs less heat than Core i3-6100T 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 i3-6100T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
