Well that depends. If you are into gaming then the 6400+ will absolutely waste its counterpart at 3.2Ghz speed per core and since most games only use two cores well then there you have it. Even if you are not into gaming it is better to go for a chip that has proved itself in the AMD family. Yep 6400+ all the way. I guarantee you you will have no regrets.

According to the EVGA web site.
