FX-4100 vs N100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the N100 is faster than the FX-4100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-4100 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the N100 has significantly more cores than the FX-4100. Indeed, the N100 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the FX-4100. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-4100 has a significantly higher clock speed than the N100. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The FX-4100 also has slightly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the FX-4100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
