Intel Core i7-4930MX vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i7-4930MX vs Athlon 3000G specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4930MX is faster than the Athlon 3000G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 3000G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4930MX has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon 3000G that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon 3000G. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon 3000G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4930MX. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i7-4930MX thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-4930MX 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 i7-4930MX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
