Xeon E5-1603 vs Athlon 3000G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon 3000G performs better than the Xeon E5-1603. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1603 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1603 has significantly more cores than the Athlon 3000G. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1603 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon 3000G. But they both have the same number of threads. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1603 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Xeon E5-1603 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
