Differences
Reasons to consider the AMD FX-6100
- CPU is newer: launch date 5 year(s) 5 month(s) later
- Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
- 4 more cores, run more applications at once: 6 vs 2
- Around 63% higher clock speed: 3.9 GHz vs 2.4 GHz
- A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 90 nm
- Around 13% more L1 cache; more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
- 6x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
- Around 50% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1316 vs 876
- 5.4x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 3688 vs 679
- 10.3x better performance in CompuBench 1.5 Desktop - Face Detection (mPixels/s): 6.171 vs 0.599
