BARGAIN AMD CPU - "Does the AMD FX 4300 have what it takes to beat the AMD Athlon II x2 240? The AMD FX 4300 has 1000Mhz higher clock speed than AMD Athlon II x2 240 and the AMD FX 4300 has 4 Cores while the AMD Athlon II x2 240 has 2 Cores. Another advantage for the AMD FX 4300 is that it has 4MB Level3 Cache while the AMD Athlon II x2 240 has none. It would appear that the AMD FX 4300 has all of the advantages but the AMD Athlon II x2 240 has some because it is 35% more Power Efficent compared to the AMD FX 4300. In this Bargain CPU Review we have decided that for the AMD FX 4300 to win then the result must be by more than 35%."
