Intel Core i7-2630QM vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i7-2630QM vs Athlon 3000G specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon 3000G is faster than the Core i7-2630QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2630QM in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-2630QM has significantly more cores than the Athlon 3000G. Indeed, the Core i7-2630QM has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon 3000G. It also has more threads than the Athlon 3000G. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon 3000G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-2630QM. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i7-2630QM thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-2630QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
