AMD Athlon Silver 3050e vs Intel Pentium Silver N6000

AMD Athlon Silver 3050e or Intel Pentium Silver N6000 - which processor is faster? In this comparison we look at the differences and analyze which of these two CPUs is better. We compare the technical data and benchmark results.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050e has 2 cores with 4 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 2.80 GHz. Up to 32 GB of memory is supported in 2 memory channels. The AMD Athlon Silver 3050e was released in Q1/2020.

The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 has 4 cores with 4 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.30 GHz. The CPU supports up to 16 GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 was released in Q1/2021.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050e has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 4 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the AMD Athlon Silver 3050e is 1.40 GHz (2.80 GHz) while the Intel Pentium Silver N6000 has 4 CPU cores and 4 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the Intel Pentium Silver N6000 is at 1.10 GHz (3.30 GHz).

The performance values of the processor's AI unit. The isolated NPU performance is specified here, the total AI performance (NPU+CPU+iGPU) can be higher. Processors with support for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050e or Intel Pentium Silver N6000 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050e can use up to 32 GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 38.4 GB/s. The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 supports up to 16 GB of memory in 2 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 46.9 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the AMD Athlon Silver 3050e is 6 W, while the Intel Pentium Silver N6000 has a TDP of 6 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050e is manufactured in 14 nm and has 5.00 MB cache. The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 is manufactured in 10 nm and has a 5.50 MB cache.
