Core i5-2500 vs Athlon 3000G comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2500 performs better than the Athlon 3000G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 3000G in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-2500 has significantly more cores than the Athlon 3000G. Indeed, the Core i5-2500 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon 3000G. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon 3000G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2500. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i5-2500 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 i5-2500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
