Core i5-4310M vs Athlon Silver 3050U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4310M is faster than the Athlon Silver 3050U. Despite this, the Athlon Silver 3050U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-4310M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4310M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 3050U.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-4310M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
