FX-6100 vs Xeon X3440 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X3440 is faster than the FX-6100. Despite this, the FX-6100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon X3440 has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the FX-6100 that has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the FX-6100. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X3440. In terms of cache, the FX-6100 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon X3440. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the FX-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
