Intel Pentium N3710 vs AMD Athlon II X2 240

Pentium N3710 vs Athlon II X2 240 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon II X2 240 performs better than the Pentium N3710. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N3710 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium N3710 has significantly more cores than the Athlon II X2 240. Indeed, the Pentium N3710 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon II X2 240. It also has more threads than the Athlon II X2 240. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon II X2 240 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium N3710.

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. For instance, the Pentium N3710 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
