Cinebench R11.5
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more. CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.
Straight away we can see that the FX-4130 over the 4100 has got a far better result with a 38% increase in points.
Super PI
Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.
Moving into SuperPI, the newer 4130 at stock speeds is able to complete a 32M calculation nearly 2 minutes faster than before whilst overclocking it to 4.8GHz slashes an extra five minutes more.
It would have been a great choice only if AMD have optimized the power consumption.
We all know that all the FX series processors are infamous for their high power consumption, but I’ve expected an improvement..
Still, it would be a good choice, but definitely not the best.

Great review, very informative, and well written for the most part. Because it was so well written, I was a bit startled at the end when the reviewer said “AMD have rekindled the entry level FX line of CPUs and given them a new leash of life”. What are they, a dog with a zen complex? I believe the phrase wanted was “a new lease on life”. Just sayin’……
