Ryzen 3 3250U vs Athlon 3000G specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon 3000G performs better than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3250U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon 3000G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon 3000G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
