FX-6300 vs Athlon 3000G benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-6300 performs better than the Athlon 3000G. 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 FX-6300 has significantly more cores with 3 cores whereas the Athlon 3000G has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon 3000G. In terms of clock speed, the FX-6300 and Athlon 3000G are identical in this regard. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than FX-6300 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the FX-6300 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon 3000G. The FX-6300 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 FX-6300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
