Intel Core i7-870 vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i7-870 vs Athlon 3000G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-870 beats the Athlon 3000G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 3000G in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-870 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Athlon 3000G has 2 cores. 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 i7-870. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Core i7-870 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-870 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
