Core i5-4300U vs Athlon 3000G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Athlon 3000G beats the Core i5-4300U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4300U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon 3000G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4300U. A Core i5-4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon 3000G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Athlon 3000G has more L2 cache than the Core i5-4300U. The Athlon 3000G also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-4300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
