Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-6200

  • CPU is newer: launch date 2 year(s) 7 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 5 more cores, run more applications at once: 6 vs 1
  • Around 52% higher clock speed: 4.1 GHz vs 2.7 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 45 nm
  • 2.3x 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 35% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1402 vs 1037
  • 8.4x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 4085 vs 486
  • Around 58% better performance in Geekbench 4 - Single Core: 513 vs 324
  • 5.9x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 1934 vs 328
