Pentium G3258 vs Athlon Silver 3050U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon Silver 3050U is faster than the Pentium G3258. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3258 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3258 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 3050U. The Athlon Silver 3050U outputs less heat than Pentium G3258 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Pentium G3258 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
