However, the Athlon series is the outlier. And as such, AMD has embraced the feature across almost its entire product stack. In recent years, overclocking has become much more mainstream. Of course, there are some significant historical exceptions- Intel’s Celeron 300A brings back memories-but overclocking is typically a feature reserved for higher-priced components. Typically, when you think about a budget processor and the features it would offer, overclocking doesn’t usually come to mind. Especially when you’re on a budget, AMD’s Athlon processors support faster memory (a boon for integrated graphics), draw less power, and they include Vega GPU cores for moderate video tasks. And they draw less power than Intel’s counterparts (35w vs 54w).
The Pentium CPUs also have built-in graphics processors, but Intel’s UHD Graphics 630 (G5600) and UHD Graphics 610 (G5400) are limited to 24 and 12 execution units, respectively.ĪMD’s Athlon processors also support faster memory than Intel’s latest Pentium chips (DDR4-2667 vs DDR4-2400). The 3.7 GHz Pentium G5400 and the 3.9 GHz Pentium G5600 have a distinct clock speed advantage over the 3.2 GHz, 3.4 GHz, and 3.5 GHz Athlon processors.ĪMD’s chips make up for their clock speed deficit with other features, such as the Radeon Vega-based graphics engine that's composed of three Compute Units (CUs), serving up a modest 192 Stream processors, 12 TMUs, and four ROPs. Pentium chips feature Intel’s Hyperthreading technology, and Athlon processors support Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), giving both companies four logical threads to work with. Intel Pentium Gold and AMD Athlon processors all come in dual-core configurations.
