Core i5-5300U vs Athlon Silver 3050U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon Silver 3050U performs better than the Core i5-5300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-5300U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-5300U has more threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i5-5300U and Athlon Silver 3050U are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Athlon Silver 3050U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 Silver 3050U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-5300U. The Athlon Silver 3050U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i5-5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
