Ryzen 3 1200 vs Athlon X4 950 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 1200 is faster than the Athlon X4 950. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 950 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 1200. Also, the Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches

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 Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
