[SOLVED] Zen Athlons faster than Ryzen 3 1200?

[clutchc]

According to Tom's CPU Hierarchy Chart, the dual core Zen Athlons are ranked just above the quad core Ryzen 3 1200. Is this just a placement typo? I would consider the Ryzen 3 1200 to be considerably above the Athlons. Maybe even above the Kaby Lake Pentium dual cores.

the AM4 -socketed Athlons should be avoided, period...(regardless of where someone 'ranks' it in whatever)

Better single core performance on paper... dual cores are certainly not something worth looking at if you're doing anything above web browsing though.

I honestly would ignore quad cores that don't have hyperthreading as well.

I'm sorry, I wasn't asking for buying advice. I was just curious as to why the CPU Hierarchy article's author decided to put them in that order. Maybe I asked this question in the wrong forum.

There is a thread for that article, just as an FYI. Probably best to ask there?
