Pentium B940 vs Athlon Silver 3050e comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon Silver 3050e is faster than the Pentium B940. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium B940 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Athlon Silver 3050e has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium B940 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 3050e. In terms of cache, the Athlon Silver 3050e has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium B940. The Athlon Silver 3050e 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. For instance, the Pentium B940 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
