AMD Ryzen 5 3400G vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Ryzen 5 3400G vs Athlon 3000G specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3400G is faster than the Athlon 3000G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 3000G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 3400G has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon 3000G that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon 3000G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Athlon 3000G. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3400G thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3400G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon 3000G. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 5 3400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
