Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD FX-6350

  • CPU is newer: launch date 5 year(s) 2 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 163% higher clock speed: 4.2 GHz vs 1.6 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
  • 12x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • 2.7x better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1566 vs 580
  • 8.9x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 4575 vs 516
  • Around 69% better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 2117 vs 1252
