Intel Core i5-2520M vs AMD 3020e

Core i5-2520M vs 3020e comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-2520M is faster than the 3020e. Despite this, the 3020e has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-2520M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-2520M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the 3020e. Also, the Core i5-2520M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The 3020e outputs less heat than Core i5-2520M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-2520M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
