AMD FX-4100 Bulldozer

The low-end AMD Bulldozer continues to lag behind the low-end Intel Sandy Bridge offering with Gcrypt when using the CAMELLIA256-ECB cipher.

The 7-Zip compression test was more favorable to the FX-4100 than the i3-2120 by about 11%.

When encoding an MP3 using LAME, the Intel Sandy Bridge parts were all much faster than the two AMD offerings that were benchmarked.

Encoding a FLAC audio file was also much faster with the Intel hardware. The A8-3850 and FX-4100 were at roughly the same speed.
