Intel Core i5-10310U vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i5-10310U vs Athlon 3000G specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-10310U beats the Athlon 3000G in overall performance. Despite this, the Athlon 3000G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-10310U has significantly more cores than the Athlon 3000G. Indeed, the Core i5-10310U has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon 3000G. It also has more threads than the Athlon 3000G. Our comparison shows that the Athlon 3000G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10310U. A Core i5-10310U 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.

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 i5-10310U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
