Intel Core i3-7130U vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i3-7130U vs Athlon 3000G specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon 3000G performs better than the Core i3-7130U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7130U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon 3000G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-7130U. A Core i3-7130U CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon 3000G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-7130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
