Core i5-3470S vs Athlon Gold 7220U specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3470S is faster than the Athlon Gold 7220U. Despite this, the Athlon Gold 7220U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-3470S has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Athlon Gold 7220U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3470S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Gold 7220U. Despite this, the Athlon Gold 7220U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Athlon Gold 7220U outputs less heat than Core i5-3470S 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 i5-3470S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
