Therefore the Phenom X4 and the new Phenom X4 , for example, should be no different in terms of performance. Of course, neither the Phenom or ever made it to market, but for the sake of comparison we have left our preliminary Phenom results in today's benchmarks. At this price point, the can be had for roughly the same price as the original , which is quite remarkable. This price point also puts the fastest clocked Phenom X4 head to head with the highly regarded Core 2 Quad Q, which is the cheapest quad-core CPU you can get from Intel.
The has 4 cores that run at 2. Memory transfers get faster than ever. HyperTransport Generation 3. Add that to the You'd think that all of this power could get too hot to handle. Think again. AMD's Cool'n'Quiet 2. Now the cores can shut down unused parts of the processor when not in use.
This saves power and helps to reduce the amount of heat generated. This function is built in so there's no need for drivers or BIOS updates. With Quad-core technology, four complete processor cores on a single die run at the same frequency to deliver exceptional multi-tasking power, allowing users to surge through the most demanding processing loads, including advanced multitasking, critical business productivity, complicated visual design and modeling, serious gaming, and visually stunning digital media and entertainment.
HyperTransport 3. With HT 3. AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple operating environments. And it also helps make it easier for PC enthusiasts to upgrade and maintain their PCs through emulation. Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle so that energy is saved without compromising performance.
AMD Cool'n'Quiet 2. The integrated memory controller changes the way the processor accesses main memory, resulting in increased bandwidth, reduced memory latencies, and enhanced processor performance. Professional Voltage 1. Johnny J. Verified Owner.
Did you? Yes No. Michael H. Hugh J. Cons: Hot. Kimberly S. Jesse O. Like it!!! Pros: A speed demon on an energy drink It also has one new feature that is exclusive to the , which is a faster memory controller. All the other Phenoms, old and new, have memory controllers running at 1. As always we tried to create as even a playing field as possible so the only limiting factor for each setup is the CPU itself.
These tests are all single-threaded versions of the programs so they are only using one core at a time, which gives a good idea of raw clock-for clock performance of the CPUs.
Once the first round of testing was over we set about overclocking the to see how much head room that unlocked multiplier really gives you. We started by upping the multiplier and very quickly found we could get to 15x, which gave us an overall clock speed of 3. Next we tried upping the HTT with this multiplier setting and very rapidly got nowhere, regardless of how much we pushed the voltages up.
So, we started scaling back the multiplier and simultaneously trying to up the HTT until we finally had some success with the default So for our testing we settled on the 15x multiplier with everything else kept the same. Still, this is a massive improvement on the overclocking results we got with the first batch of Phenoms. There is, unfortunately, one downside to all this. Without experimenting with overvolting, 2. Once the fix is enabled on the its performance drops by an average of another 10 percent right across the board — the appalling WinRAR results not withstanding.
More to the point, though, is that on performance the is pretty close to its biggest rival, the Q
