Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Athlon 3000G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 performs better 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 Xeon E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Athlon 3000G that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon 3000G. Our comparison shows that the Athlon 3000G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2699 v3. The Athlon 3000G outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2699 v3 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. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
