Integrated graphics is not the same on both, Yes on the Athlon 320GE versus No on the Athlon 631. Socket is not the same on both, AM4 on the Athlon 320GE versus FM1 on the Athlon 631. They differ on igpu too, Radeon Vega 3 Graphics on the Athlon 320GE versus None on the Athlon 631. There is a split on smt enabled as well, Yes on the Athlon 320GE versus No on the Athlon 631.
Who each one is for
The Athlon 320GE is the one to take for Athlon platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is the wrong buy for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds. The Athlon 631 suits Athlon platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is not built for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Efficiency cores, total threads, socket status, product line and form factor read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 2 further specifications as well.
