Short, practical follow-up to the choices already posted by and the replies from and . The thread raises the right topics (price, reviews, overclocking and multi‑core), but it stops short of a reproducible way to decide. Below are clear, actionable checks to use now or when comparing any two CPUs.

First, pick the workload you care about and compare real apps (not just model names). For gaming, look at modern game benchmarks run at your target resolution with the same GPU — focus on frame‑time consistency (1% lows) as much as average FPS. For video work, measure encode/export time in the exact tool and codec you’ll use (real seconds per project). When reading results, note single‑thread vs multi‑thread scaling, cache and memory behavior, and whether the software you run actually uses extra cores.

Also factor platform and reliability. Don’t just compare sticker price: check motherboard feature set and VRM quality, BIOS update history, supported memory speeds, cooling needs and power draw. If overclocking matters, look for community logs for the exact CPU+board combo and note required voltages and temps. Finally, balance the build: a faster GPU often improves gaming more than a small CPU bump, while more cores and RAM help encoding. If the thread is being read years later, treat the specific models as historical examples and apply the same tests to modern equivalents.

Im not dead positive on the numbers of benchmarks, but of the two i would go with the 4000+ for 2 reasons...it has the exact same specs only socket 939 vs a socket 940...939 boards are more popular and cheaper...and i know for a fact the 4000+ overclocks like a mother so im sure you could have some fun with it. Another thing to look at is the number of reviews the opteron has no reviews and is $130 more expensive while the 4000+ has more reviews...in all honesty, i believe the main difference is that the opteron is made for servers while the 4000+ is a gaming chip...opteron probably handles really long periods of workloads better but for the money save it for a better graphics card and get the 4000!

Actually, you might that the Opteron is the overclocking king. ;)

Best to look up overclocking websites (such as here in Australia) for more information on this.

Otherwise, considered dual core lately?
