Intel Core i7-4720HQ vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i7-4720HQ vs Athlon 3000G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon 3000G is faster than the Core i7-4720HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4720HQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4720HQ has significantly more cores than the Athlon 3000G. Indeed, the Core i7-4720HQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon 3000G. It also has more threads than the Athlon 3000G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon 3000G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4720HQ. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i7-4720HQ thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7-4720HQ also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-4720HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
