I'm buying one or the other today and I'm wavering between the two. I'm leaning towards the 4000.

It comes down to this
2 x 2200 MHz
1 x 2400 MHz, larger cache

If this is for a gaming PC, you'd probably feel no difference in performance, since almost all games are single-threaded.

The 64 X2 is probably a bit more "future proofed."
