AMD X2 4400+ or 4600+

[Son1c]

Well the title is self explanitary, basically im looking for a new CPU, I do not know which one to go out of the 4400+ or 4600+
The 4400+ has a 1mb cache while the 4600+ has a 512kb cache
The 4600+ has an extra 100mhz per core (200mhz total)
which one is better for gaming?
Thanks, Son1c.

No it doesn't, the speeds of the cores do not add up. It has 200MHz more per core. Personally, I would go with the 4400.

 

[Son1c]

so each coreo on the 4600+ is 2.4ghz?

Exactly.

 

[Son1c]

so the 4400+ would give me slightly more fps in games than the 4600+?

They would be about the same

Ive heard that the difference in games between the 1mb L2 cache and the 512kb L2 cache is very minimal if not noticable at all. This point i would go with the 4600 since it is a lil more faster than the 4400 so it will help out more when more pc games come out that has multi-threading enabled.
