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: 1400 vs 1037
8.4x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 4075 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
