AMD® Athlon™ Silver 3050U

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050U is a laptop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads. It launched in Jan 2020. Clocks run from 2.3 GHz base to 3.2 GHz boost. A 4-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.6 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. It uses the FP5 socket. Rated TDP is 15 W.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050U scores 1,685 in single-core performance and 2,924 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,220 for overall performance, 4,260 for productivity performance, 4,641 for creator performance, 2,723 for engineering performance and 5,786 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,462 per core, 1,462 per thread and 195 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 573. Its performance index is 28, so its overall performance is 72% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Athlon Silver 3050U scores 7,840 in integer math, 5,127 in floating-point math, 33,646 in compression, 1,788 in cryptography, 207 in physics simulation, 1,816 in vector SIMD, 15 in the prime sieve and 4,144 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 87% below in integer math, 89% below in floating-point math, 85% below in compression, 84% below in cryptography, 81% below in physics simulation, 88% below in vector SIMD, 78% below in the prime sieve and 82% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050U has 2 physical cores and runs 2 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.30 GHz and boosts up to 3.20 GHz.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050U is a laptop processor and belongs to the AMD Athlon family. It launched in Jan 2020.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050U has 192 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 4 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 5.2 MB of cache, or 2.60 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050U has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 192 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 4 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 77% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050U supports DDR4 memory, uses 2 memory channels, runs memory at up to 2,400 MT/s and delivers up to 38.4 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050U uses the FP5 socket.

The AMD Athlon Silver 3050U has a rated TDP of 15 W.
