Phenom II x4 @ 3.1ghz or Athlon II x3 @ 3.5ghz

I have 2 AthlonII 425 x3 - one that unlocks too full phenom plus cashe and the other that does not - the other clocks a bit faster.

Which one is best to keep?
 
I would keep the one which is the Phenom II as the extra core and L3 cache would be better in most cases.

This comparison between a 2.6GHZ Phenom II X4 and a 3GHZ Athlon II X3 would give you an indication of the relative performance of each processor:

Also could you post any performance benchmarks with the Athlon II in this thread if possible please:

If you could also do the same with the Phenom II in this thread it would be great:
