Differences
Reasons to consider the AMD FX-4100
- CPU is newer: launch date 8 year(s) 7 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 65% higher clock speed: 3.8 GHz vs 2.3 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
- 2.3x better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1288 vs 559
- 11.5x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 2617 vs 227
