When AtomicInteger is faster than synchronized

I've already read a great number of articles where is said that AtomicInteger class works faster than a synchronize construction. I did some tests on AtomicInteger and "synchronized" and in my tests, it occurs that synchronized is much faster than AtomicInteger. I would like to understand what is going wrong: my test class is incorrect or AtomicInteger works faster in other situations?

Here is my test class:

    public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
    {
        // creating tester "synchronized" class
        TesterSynchronized testSyn = new TesterSynchronized();

        // Creating 3 threads
        Thread thread1 = new Thread(testSyn);
        Thread thread2 = new Thread(testSyn);
        Thread thread3 = new Thread(testSyn);

        // start time
        long beforeSyn = System.currentTimeMillis();

        // start
        thread1.start();
        thread2.start();
        thread3.start();

        thread1.join();
        thread2.join();
        thread3.join();

        long afterSyn = System.currentTimeMillis();
        long delta = afterSyn - beforeSyn;

        System.out.println("Test synchronized: " + delta + " ms");

        // _______________________________________________________

        // creating tester "atomicInteger" class
        TesterAtomicInteger testAtomic = new TesterAtomicInteger();

        thread1 = new Thread(testAtomic);
        thread2 = new Thread(testAtomic);
        thread3 = new Thread(testAtomic);

        // start time
        long beforeAtomic = System.currentTimeMillis();

        // start
        thread1.start();
        thread2.start();
        thread3.start();

        thread1.join();
        thread2.join();
        thread3.join();

        long afterAtomic = System.currentTimeMillis();
        long deltaAtomic = afterAtomic - beforeAtomic;

        System.out.println("Test atomic integer: " + deltaAtomic + " ms");
    }
}

// Synchronized tester
class TesterSynchronized implements Runnable {
    public int integerValue = 0;

    public synchronized void run() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 1_000_000; i++)
            integerValue++;
    }
}

// AtomicInteger class tester
class TesterAtomicInteger implements Runnable {
    AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger(0);

    public void run() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 1_000_000; i++)
            atomicInteger.incrementAndGet();
    }
}

Test parameters: 3 threads and 1_000_000 increments; Result:

Test synchronized: 7 ms. Test atomic integer: 51 ms

I would be glad to understand why this is happening.

UPD The test will be correct if change the synchronized method to a synchronized block.

// Synchronized tester
class TesterSynchronized implements Runnable {
    public int integerValue = 0;

    public void run() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 1_000_000; i++) {
            synchronized (this) {
                integerValue++;
            }
        }
    }
}
