Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-4150

  • CPU is newer: launch date 2 year(s) 1 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 27% higher clock speed: 3.8 GHz vs 3 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm vs 45 nm
  • Around 50% more L1 cache; more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • 2x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • Around 22% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1465 vs 1196
  • 3.1x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 3327 vs 1081
