Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD A6-3670K

  • CPU is newer: launch date 3 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 3 more cores, run more applications at once: 4 vs 1
  • Around 4% higher clock speed: 2.7 GHz vs 2.6 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm vs 45 nm
  • 4x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • 8x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • Around 8% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1144 vs 1059
  • 4.2x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 2171 vs 511
