GPGPU Benchmarks
3DMark Timespy
Running the 3DMark Timespy benchmark we see the AMD Athlon 3000G score 509 while overclocking it scores 512 an improvement of only half a percent. However, we only have the CPU portion overclocked here, not the Radeon Vega 3 Graphics yet, and that is what will affect this test most. The AMD Ryzen 5 3500U scores 767 which is 50% faster than the AMD Athlon 3000G in 3DMark.
Geekbench 5 OpenCL GPU Test
We ran Geekbench 5’s OpenCL GPU Compute Test. This will directly test the Radeon Vega Graphics compute performance. The AMD Athlon 3000G scores 4890 and overclocking the CPU portion did not affect this score, rightly so. The AMD Ryzen 5 3500U scored 9493, a whopping 94% more OpenCL GPU Compute performance according to Geekbench 5.
Aida64 GPGPU Benchmark
In the screenshot above you can compare all three comparisons data of the Aida64 GPGPU Benchmark. The Overclocked results shouldn’t show much because we are overclocking the CPU here, and not the Radeon Vega Graphics. The biggest comparison will be between the AMD Athlon 3000G and Ryzen 5 3500U. What you will find is that the Ryzen 5 3500U is faster in everything, it’s just simply more powerful in compute, and that is mostly due to the fact it has 8 CUs versus 3 in the Athlon 3000G.
