Differences
Reasons to consider the AMD FX-6100
- CPU is newer: launch date 3 year(s) 7 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 95% higher clock speed: 3.9 GHz vs 2 GHz
- A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 65 nm
- 2.3x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
- 24x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
- 2.3x better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1316 vs 578
- 3.7x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 3688 vs 995
