AMD Athlon Silver 3050C vs Intel Celeron 6305

Processor comparisons   17-07-2021
   If you can't decide which CPU to buy, you can make a decision by looking at the AMD Athlon Silver 3050C vs Intel Celeron 6305 tests and see which is better for games or normal use for machine learning, rendering, programming, video editing, streaming. Here is useful information from real video editing and streaming tests or many benchmarks. A careful analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in synthetic type tests like UserBenchmark, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), GeekBench 6, 5.2, Furmark, PassMark, SuperPi, RealBench, 3DMark, Gears 5, Prime95, PCMark 10, Blender, DaVinci Resolve Studio, VeraCrypt, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, MATLAB, 7zip, Blender, AIDA64, Dolphin Emulator, Handbrake, WPrime.
   And how good the processors are in games:

Apex Legends
Rainbow Six Siege
Fortnite
Red Dead Redemption 2
Fallout 76
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Valorant

The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor currently available. And it is clear that this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a low game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The tested computers not only did they have different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: FullHD, 2K or 4K. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.

Celeron 6305

To make a final decision on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Athlon Silver 3050C is more energy efficient than the Celeron 6305 since it has less power consumption: 15W vs. 0W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. And TDP should be taken into account when choosing a processor cooling system. You need to buy a cooler that has the TDP data specified in the specification was greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

Let's say you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for video rendering or video editing, machine learning, programming, streaming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the CPU includes all threads and cores that it has to the maximum to reach maximum efficiency. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to make sure that the program that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the advantages of multi-core mode turns out to be unnecessary.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the most helpful will be the the possibility of overclocking it and release date of the processor. The newer the processor, the longer it will last in your computer. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system later. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. When the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in the newest games. Accordingly, there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The savings are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Athlon Silver 3050C is 21% better than Celeron 6305 in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which AMD Athlon Silver 3050C is better: 26
The number of parameters for which Intel Celeron 6305 is better: 8
Although it should be understood that all the figures that you have looked at here do not mean that taking them into account you should undividedly trust a simple quantitative comparison. Be sure to watch the testing video and read the reviews of of people who bought AMD Athlon Silver 3050C and Intel Celeron 6305 before making a decision which CPU to buy for gaming and which not.
