Core i3-7350K vs Athlon 3000G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Athlon 3000G beats the Core i3-7350K in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-7350K 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-7350K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon 3000G. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i3-7350K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Athlon 3000G has more L2 cache than the Core i3-7350K. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i3-7350K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
