Intel Core i5-650 vs AMD 3020e

Core i5-650 vs 3020e specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-650 is faster than the 3020e. Despite this, the 3020e has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-650 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-650 has a significantly higher clock speed than the 3020e. Also, the Core i5-650 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The 3020e outputs less heat than Core i5-650 thanks to a 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 i5-650 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
