AMD Phenom II X4 955 vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Phenom II X4 955 vs Athlon 3000G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X4 955 is faster than the Athlon 3000G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 3000G in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Phenom II X4 955 has significantly more cores than the Athlon 3000G. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 955 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon 3000G. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 955 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon 3000G. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon 3000G has significantly more L2 cache than the Phenom II X4 955

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 Phenom II X4 955 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
