AMD Phenom II X4 810 and X3 720BE review (AM3) -
Performance - DDR2 Memory read|write
Memory Read test
Obviously we also had to peek at memory bandwidth performance. Now, obviously Intel has two advantages here. Triple-channel memory and DDR3 memory. This explains the tremendous amount of read performance for Core i7 platforms.
If you'd filter that out though, the dual-channel performance achieved with Phenom II X4 810 and X3 720 BE and our 1066 MHz DDR2 memory, is superb at nearly 8000 MB/sec.
Memory Write test
The same goes for the memory write tests. Of course Intel dominates here and considering we used 1333 JEDEC memory on that platform, it even shows somewhat slow number. Triple channel performance on Nehalem is just frightening good really.
The new AM3 Phenoms II processors in both read and write performance seem to benefit from the new memory controller, it's really fast.
We test three AMD processors today, the Phenom II X6 1075T, Phenom II X4 970BE and Athlon II X4 645. They are part of the AMD Q4 processor product line update, arming their processor lineup with more value and higher performing CPUs.
AMD Phenom X4 945 and 955BE processor review|test
Today AMD is releasing two processors in the Phenom II line-up, the Phenom II 955BE and the Phenom II X4 945 processor. Both processors can be considered and positioned in AMDs high-end segment, yet will be priced friendly. Yields are good, clock frequencies go up, performance goes up. And that's nice as the Phenom II series processors offer great performance for the money you have to lay down on the table. AMD Phenom series processors are slowly ripening, and are aging like fine wine (they get even better over time). Guru3D brings you an in-depth performance review and architectural overview on both these processors. Oh yea .. and we'll overclock the living daylights out of it as well.
AMD Phenom II X4 810 and X3 720BE review (AM3)
A test on AMD Phenom II X4 810 and X3 720BE review socket AM3 processors. Socket AM3 Phenom II processors. Processors that are pretty much the same as the Socket AM2+ processors yet now with a DDR3 memory controller. DDR3 memory will allow the overall performance of the platform (your PC) to gain again a little in speed. Over the next few pages we'll tell you all about these new processors, their specifications and of course will check out performance.
AMD Phenom II X4 920 and 940 review test
AMD Phenom II 940 and 920 test. AMD releases the new Phenom II processors. Now manufactured at a much smaller fabrication processes, 45 nanometer, and has different amounts of cache. The result... their processors can now run at 3.0 GHz fairly easy, run cool and still have enough headroom for a nice tweak or two. Pretty significant, pretty interesting.
