From the specification, it appears that the AMD FX-4100 offers a better potential. Largercache memory, higher speed and more cores makes the FX-4100 perform better. At leaston paper. Meanwhile, Intel Core i3 2100 comes with a lower rate (even without the turbo)and fewer number of cores. However, hyperthread Intel (which makes it capable of running 4 threads) generally can not compete with the real core. In addition, the efficiency of SandyBridge architecture should also be taken into account.

The second price is relatively the same processor. Both are in Kisara 1 million dollars. If we look from the side of the platform support, both already have a fairly cheapmotherboard support. At a later date, choose the AMD processor can lead to more investment lightly. As usual, board manufacturers will provide AMD solutions at pricescheaper than the Intel solution. Unfortunately, to date it has not happened.

Testing by using Microsoft Excel This resulted in a score that is not much different.Apparently, these two architectures are able to offer performance that is not muchdifferent.

Testing with 7zip software is done with a choice of the number of threads of differentworkmanship. In testing a thread, i3 excel 2100 very thin. Meanwhile, in the testing of twothreads, AMD FX-4100 is superior, although too thin. AMD FX-4100 finally winning whenthe use of testing with 4 threads.

Other compression software that we tested is Winzip 15. Testing non-AES AES was chosen because the test will generally be advantageous Intel only (because it has the extension AES). The result, AMD FX-4100 lags behind the Core i3 2100. There is a possibility, because the optimization of the good in WinZip, 2100 i3 can excel in this test.

Back to the testing that is quite heavy, this time we can see that the AMD FX-4100 is notfar behind compared i3 2100 for testing Adobe Photoshop. In everyday life, chances areyou will not feel the difference. In fact, usually an Intel Core i3 2100 is a "ruler" absolute forthis benchmark.

Tests with Blender software once again shows that the performance of the AMD FX-4100is not much different from the Core i3 2100.

This image conversion software featuring Intel Core i3 2100 as an absolute winner. Whenusing the AMD FX-4100, construction lasted almost 50% longer.
