Intel Core i3-7100 vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i3-7100 vs Athlon 3000G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-7100 is faster 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-7100 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Athlon 3000G. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i3-7100 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 3000G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-7100. The Athlon 3000G also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i3-7100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
