Intel Pentium Silver N6000 vs AMD Athlon Silver 7120U

Pentium Silver N6000 vs Athlon Silver 7120U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Athlon Silver 7120U beats the Pentium Silver N6000 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N6000 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N6000 has significantly more cores than the Athlon Silver 7120U. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N6000 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon Silver 7120U. It also has more threads than the Athlon Silver 7120U. Our comparison shows that the Athlon Silver 7120U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N6000. A Pentium Silver N6000 CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon Silver 7120U CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Silver N6000 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
