    AMD New Phenom X3 II 710, 720 BE and X4 810

    AMD today launched three new Phenom II under reference X3 710 X3 720 Black Edition (BE) and X4 810.

    The first major difference of these models compared with the 900 series launched last month is that they are compatible with the AM3 socket and are therefore more scalable.

    Socket AM3: Interesting news ...
    For what we know, the AM3 provides support for DDR-3 to 1333 MHz in addition to the DDR-2, a digital thermal probe finally breasts reliable processors and the availability of a signal PSI in order to inform the floor of food that can turn off certain stages since the CPU is idle.

    It is a shame indeed qu'AMD not be able to provide the press a complete and accurate documentation on the new AM3. During our interviews, representatives of the smelter remained fairly vague on the subject.

    Anyway, AMD, which recently swore that model compatible with the AM3 socket before April could not seem to have changed his mind.

    Of course, they are also compatible with AM2 motherboards and AM2 + if they have a BIOS to manage them.

    ... but a platform not yet fully ready
    We also advise users to be limited to these models for the time since the BIOS AM3 motherboards are not yet finalized.

    There are some bugs encountered with the AM2 + models (only one core detected in some cases, for example) and the memory controller is not yet capable of handling 4 GB 1333 MHz, which should be corrected in a future BIOS.

    Then, the TDP is lowered since it is more than 95 watts against 125 watts for the 900 series. This is explained by a voltage applied to the processor a little lower, it is 1325 by default against V 1.35 V for their big brothers.

    A voltage revised downwards for a TDP of 95 watts

    Moreover, in practice this tension can never rises beyond 1.34 V, while the X4 BE 920 and 940 could reach 1376 V.

    The HT link is running at 2 GHz while for some unknown reason that of their elder brothers was limited to 1.8 GHz.

    The 700 series is without a full heart. Thus, if the L3 cache is still 6 MB L2 cache is its more than 1.5 MB (3x 512 KB).


    Performance rather attractive ...
    Thus, a 720 BE X3 is able to harm a Core 2 Duo E8400 in 3D rendering and video compression for a lesser price. He remains behind against in games and it is a bit of energy, what it was easily forgiven.

    The series 800, it loads good 4 full hearts, but its L3 cache is limited to 4 Mo. According to our tests, this bridle is almost no effect in all applications, even in games.

    ... a rate which should be interesting
    It is therefore with X4 810 which should be reflected in the price of a Q8200 or Q6600 Intel but offers performance and consumption level of a Q9400, which is rather interesting.

    AMD comes on the market with attractive new models, which we will publish the test when we have the final rates since a few hours of launch, AMD France still did not give anything other than the rates for 1000 units are sold $ 125, $ 145 and $ 175 for the X3 710 (2.6 GHz), X3 720 BE (2.8 GHz) and X4 810 (2.6 GHz).

    Re: AMD New Phenom X3 II 710, 720 BE and X4 810

    Interesting, especially when we know that the new Quad "s" Intel will be even more expensive for no performance gain. The problem is that I think the Core i7 will become increasingly important, the CM began to be available as affordable to less than 200 euros ... I think Intel will make its platform i7 much more affordable in the next few months, which may once again have some problems for AMD. The price of DDR3 will fall through the AM3 making the Core i7 even more affordable ... Wait n 'See

    New AMD Phenom II X4 910, X4 810, X4 805, X3 720 Black Edition and X3 710

    AMD extended the value and lifespan of its heralded Dragon platform technology today with five new additions to its AMD Phenom™ II processor family, including the industry’s only 45nm triple-core processors and three new AMD Phenom II quad-core processors. These AMD Phenom II processors deliver choice and lay the foundation for memory transition; they fit in either AM2+ or AM3 sockets and support DDR2 or next generation DDR3 memory technology. AMD continues to enhance the Dragon platform technology value to OEM and channel partners as well as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) consumers who build and customize their own PCs.

    With a substantial performance boost over the previous generation of AMD Phenom processors, new AMD Phenom II processors deliver an amazing experience at mainstream price points and can help eliminate the substantial cost required by competing platforms which force an immediate upgrade to DDR3 memory. AMD’s strategic architecture design lets consumers customize a PC upgrade path that’s right for their budget and overall experience without being forced to pay substantial amounts of money to upgrade their motherboard and memory technology.

    “Whether buying a new desktop PC or upgrading components in an existing system, AMD recognizes consumers are looking for value more than ever before,” said Leslie Sobon, vice president of product marketing, AMD. “With the combination of the infrastructure compatibility and the introduction of the AMD Phenom II triple-core processors, AMD has made two very strategic design decisions that our competitor cannot duplicate at the component or platform level.”

    “PC buyers are looking to leverage their technology investments as much as possible in these challenging economic times,” said Bob O'Donnell, IDC vice president, Clients and Displays. “Companies that can provide solutions that help offer strong performance and flexibility at attractive price points are clearly going to be at an advantage.”

    Extending Triple-Core Innovation

    All things being equal, it is an established fact that three cores offer more performance than two, but not as much as four. Typically, the cost of cores would scale in a linear fashion. But what if you could get triple-core performance at a price competitive with dual-core systems? This is the market need that AMD Phenom II triple-core processors have filled. First introduced at 65nm, these new 45nm AMD Phenom II triple-core processors deliver the improvements over the previous generation AMD Phenom processors exhibited by all AMD 45nm desktop processors: better energy efficiency, improved idle power consumption and incredible headroom for tunable performance. AMD continues to deliver competitive and affordable solutions addressing the diverse needs of customers and consumers; whether dual-, triple- or quad-core, AMD can provide a platform-level solution that exceeds expectations – all at a competitive price.

    Platform Compatibility

    When upgrading desktop PCs, the design compatibility of the new AMD Phenom II processors will allow consumers to keep their existing microprocessor technology across AM2+ and AM3 infrastructures. That means AMD Phenom II processors work equally well with either DDR2 or DDR3 memory, allowing customers to choose if and when they wish to upgrade. AMD customers and partners will be able to take advantage of its innovative multi-core technology and experience a compelling solution, especially when combined with AMD’s chipset and graphics processors.

    Pricing and Availability

    The new triple-core and quad-core AMD Phenom II processors are available immediately at the following frequencies:
    • AMD Phenom™ II X4 910 - (2.6GHz)
    • AMD Phenom™ II X4 810 - (2.6GHz)
    • AMD Phenom™ II X4 805 - (2.5GHz)
    • AMD Phenom™ II X3 720 Black Edition - (2.8GHz)
    • AMD Phenom™ II X3 710 - (2.6GHz)

    The triple-core AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition processor is competitively priced at $145 while the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor is priced at $165; the AMD processor allows users to get more cores for less money. The quad-core AMD Phenom II X4 810 processor (2.6GHz) is priced at $175 compared to the Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor (2.33GHz) at $170.2
