About the AMD Athlon Gold 3150U CPU

The AMD Athlon Gold 3150U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Gold 3150U is compatible with FP5 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the AMD Radeon Graphics integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Athlon Gold 3150U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 192 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Athlon Gold 3150U features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2400.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3300.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Athlon Gold 3150U includes an integrated graphics solution called AMD Radeon Graphics. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Athlon Gold 3150U has the 430th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 11.59% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Ryzen 3 3250U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 3 3250U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2020. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 3 lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The 3250U is compatible with AMD Socket FP5 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Vega 3 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 3 3250U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3250U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 3 3250U features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.6 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.5 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 3 3250U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Vega 3. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 3 3250U has the 437th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 11.34% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
