Ryzen 3 3250U vs Athlon X4 860K benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon X4 860K performs better than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3250U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 860K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3250U. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 860K 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, the Athlon X4 860K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U

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