Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-4100

  • CPU is newer: launch date 2 year(s) 10 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 2 more cores, run more applications at once: 4 vs 2
  • Around 73% higher clock speed: 3.8 GHz vs 2.2 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 65 nm
  • Around 50% 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 69% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1288 vs 764
  • 4.2x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 2617 vs 626
  • Around 78% better performance in Geekbench 4 - Single Core: 463 vs 260
  • 2.8x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 1286 vs 457
