Intel Core i5-6200U vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i5-6200U vs Athlon 3000G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Athlon 3000G beats the Core i5-6200U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6200U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon 3000G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6200U. A Core i5-6200U 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.

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 i5-6200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
