Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-4100

  • CPU is newer: launch date 8 year(s) 10 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 73% higher clock speed: 3.8 GHz vs 2.2 GHz
  • Around 1% higher maximum core temperature: 70.50°C vs 70°C
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 130 nm
  • 24x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • 32x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • 2.4x better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1288 vs 537
  • 12.3x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 2617 vs 213
