Intel Core i3-7020U vs AMD 3020e

Core i3-7020U vs 3020e comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-7020U beats the 3020e in overall performance. Despite this, the 3020e has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-7020U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-7020U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the 3020e. The 3020e outputs less heat than Core i3-7020U 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 i3-7020U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
