Intel Core i5-3470 vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i5-3470 vs Athlon 3000G benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3470 performs better than the Athlon 3000G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 3000G in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-3470 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Athlon 3000G has 2 cores. 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 i5-3470. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i5-3470 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. For instance, the Core i5-3470 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
