Pentium Gold G6405 vs Athlon 3000G benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon 3000G is faster than the Pentium Gold G6405. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G6405 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon 3000G. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Pentium Gold G6405 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 Pentium Gold G6405 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
