We know that AMD chips are not inherently the best for memory bandwidth and the lack of L3 cache does cripple the chips against the offerings from Intel, we do find the 4130 and 4100 chips fairly close in terms of bandwidth, but sadly we find that overclocking the 4130 cripples that bandwidth a little further with copy speeds whilst read and write do see a slight gain.
