Pretty much double the performance. You have a dual core, and that one is a quad core.

more than double fool
cores are important but having twice as many doesn't necessarily increase performance
compare the FX octa-core Bulldozer to a quad-core i7 2700K
the i7 wins despite the bulldozer having twice as many cores

I highly doubt DrenDran's motherboard would support a 125w processor, at best it might support a 95w one.

All versions of the board support up to 140W for a processor
