Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-4130

  • CPU is newer: launch date 5 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 144% higher clock speed: 3.9 GHz vs 1.6 GHz
  • Around 16% higher maximum core temperature: 70°C vs 60.4°C
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 65 nm
  • 3x 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
  • 2.8x better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1339 vs 471
  • 11.5x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 2696 vs 235
  • Around 51% better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 1261 vs 834
