Athlon 240GE Details

The AMD Athlon 240GE stands out for its strong single-core performance, scoring 5,171 in the Singlecore Score benchmark and ranking #831 among 2,060 processors. This performance places it ahead of several high-end Intel Core i7 and Core i5 models from the same era, including the Core i7-6700TE and Core i5-4460, highlighting its efficiency in applications that prioritize raw per-thread speed. As of March 2026, the Athlon 240GE remains a relevant option for budget-conscious users seeking a capable integrated graphics solution in a low-power desktop platform.

Launched in December 2018, the Athlon 240GE is built on AMD’s Zen microarchitecture, fabricated at 14 nm by GlobalFoundries, and uses the Socket AM4 platform. The processor features two cores with Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), effectively delivering four threads for improved multitasking. It operates at a base frequency of 3.5 GHz, with a 35x multiplier and a TDP of just 35 W, making it one of the most energy-efficient CPUs in its segment. Despite its age, the processor benefits from a 4 MB L3 cache and supports DDR4-2666 memory with a dual-channel interface, enabling sufficient bandwidth for everyday productivity and light multimedia tasks.

Integrated into the Athlon 240GE is the Radeon Vega 3 GPU, which features 3 execution units and 192 unified shaders. It can reach a maximum frequency of 1.0 GHz and supports up to three display outputs, providing a solid foundation for basic gaming and video playback without requiring a discrete graphics card. The GPU is complemented by full hardware virtualization support through AMD-V, which enhances virtual machine performance, and includes advanced instruction sets such as AVX, AVX2, and AES-NI, enabling efficient performance in computation-heavy workloads.

In multicore performance, the Athlon 240GE scores 4,576, placing it at #1,126 overall, which is in line with mid-range desktop processors from the late 2010s. While it trails behind modern high-end CPUs, its performance is competitive with Intel's Core i5 and i7 models of that period, such as the Core i5-2320 and Core i7-7600U. The processor's overall score of 4,933 ranks it #922, reflecting its balanced performance across various workloads. Notably, its single-core performance is significantly stronger than its multicore performance, indicating that it excels in tasks reliant on clock speed rather than thread count.

Given its low TDP, integrated graphics, and affordability, the Athlon 240GE is well-suited for entry-level desktops, home office systems, and lightweight multimedia applications. While it no longer competes with today’s top-tier CPUs, its combination of efficiency and decent performance makes it a viable choice for users who prioritize energy savings and integrated graphics over raw power.
