Intel Core i5-2400S vs AMD Athlon Gold 3150U

Core i5-2400S vs Athlon Gold 3150U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon Gold 3150U is faster than the Core i5-2400S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2400S in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-2400S has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Athlon Gold 3150U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-2400S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Gold 3150U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Athlon Gold 3150U outputs less heat than Core i5-2400S 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. For instance, the Core i5-2400S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
