Differences
Reasons to consider the AMD FX-6200
- CPU is newer: launch date 4 year(s) 8 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 156% higher clock speed: 4.1 GHz vs 1.6 GHz
- Around 1% higher maximum core temperature: 61.10°C vs 60.4°C
- A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 65 nm
- 4.5x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
- 12x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
- 3x better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1402 vs 471
- 17.4x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 4085 vs 235
- 2.3x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 1934 vs 834
