Newer manufacturing process 32 nms vs 65 nms A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Is unlocked Yes vs No Somewhat common; An unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
Significantly higher clock speed 3.6 GHz vs 2.2 GHz Around 65% higher clock speed
More l3 cache 8 MB vs 2 MB 4x more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
More l2 cache 4 MB vs 2 MB 2x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later
Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) 4.72 GHz vs 2.59 GHz More than 80% better overclocked clock speed (Air)
Much more l3 cache per core 2 MB/core vs 0.5 MB/core 4x more l3 cache per core
Significantly better 3DMark11 physics score 5,760 vs 2,250 More than 2.5x better 3DMark11 physics score
Significantly more l2 cache per core 1 MB/core vs 0.5 MB/core 2x more l2 cache per core
Supports more CPUs in SMP configuration 2 vs 1 Twice as many CPUs in SMP configuration
Marginally newer Oct, 2011 vs Nov, 2007 Release date over 3 years later
Better PassMark (Single core) score 1,224 vs 749 Around 65% better PassMark (Single core) score
Better PassMark score 4,038 vs 2,227 More than 80% better PassMark score
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 4.81 GHz vs 2.73 GHz More than 75% better overclocked clock speed (Water)
Slightly better geekbench (64-bit) score 5,580 vs 4,337 Around 30% better geekbench (64-bit) score

I ran a few quick benches like the CPU physics test in 3dmark11, and the linx FLOPS test.

The performance of the FX-4100 wasn't awful, but we didn't expect to see the AMD A6-3650 running at 2.6GHz to beat the AMD FX-4100 running at 3.6GHz in benchmarks like POV-Ray and Cinebench!
