Intel Core i7-8650U vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i7-8650U vs Athlon 3000G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8650U performs better than the Athlon 3000G. Despite this, the Athlon 3000G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8650U has significantly more cores than the Athlon 3000G. Indeed, the Core i7-8650U 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 i7-8650U. A Core i7-8650U 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. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-8650U 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 i7-8650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
