Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-4300

  • CPU is newer: launch date 3 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 67% higher clock speed: 4 GHz vs 2.4 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 45 nm
  • Around 50% more L1 cache; more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • 4x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • Around 51% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1479 vs 981
  • 3.3x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 2981 vs 900
  • Around 98% better performance in Geekbench 4 - Single Core: 513 vs 259
  • 3.2x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 1397 vs 436
