Benchmarks for AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition

[Allison]

I am thinking to go for the AMD Phenom X4 9850 processor. But I am not having good knowledge about it. Although we are already in the large AMD processor-Round-up aspects of the new AMD Phenom B3 stepping CPUs including the higher clock rates could explain almost all, still remained some issues unresolved. The blame can after the test with the third Phenom processor, however, now well clear of the mainboard are attributed. A BIOS update, however, brought no relief, so we have restored the original audit for better comparison of the benchmarks themselves. So lastly after reading much about this processor, I thought to go for it. I know that it is somewhat old, but according to performance it seems good. Now I am here to fetch some information about the benchmarks for AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition. Some detailed information about the AMD Phenom X4 9850 processor would be much better. I am sure that some members hanging out there will help me soon.

To provide a fair and realistic comparison between the counterparties, all tests in a closed mid-tower with factory-fan assembly (a rear-mounted spotting unit fan and the hard drive cage in front of a sucking) is performed so as also to thermal problems to take notice. For this purpose, a "Cooler Master Stacker RC-832," to us by King Case was made available to. The housing allows the use of up to nine 120mm fans, which include the two fans used in the delivery. Made all benchmarks were conducted on Windows Vista in a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels. Especially in games but there may be slight differences in the resolutions and graphics settings. Precisely how they look, is mentioned in place in the text.

No matter whether it's motherboard, memory, hard drive, peripherals, expansion cards, processor, network interfaces BIOS, Windows or DirectX is, SiSoft Sandra has extensive answers. For much of the hardware in the PC, there are also benchmark tests that can test the PC to its performance in comparison with some reference computers. All these values are almost purely theoretical and have little relation to practice, however, processors can compare well in their theoretical possibilities. While almost all the tests as expected to scale with the clock frequency, suggests the memory test a little. The 2.6 GHz speed model 9950 can not be deducted from the Phenom 9750, even though it's 200 MHz longer available. Can represents the integrated memory controller, AMD be demonstrated: Nevertheless, teaches this last test Intel face the music.

In a further test of the bandwidth is, the memory, the associated motherboard and processor provide the tool Science Mark 2.0. This determines not only the bandwidth but the latency of memory. Furthermore, the cache of a processor be subject to inspection. The image of the memory assessment, you will have to round out the program with Everest in version 4.20. This tool has some built-in benchmark functions and tools that utilize the computer completely and check for errors. The PCMark Suite offers the user since June 2005, a detailed overview of the performance of the PC installed components such as processor, memory, graphics card and hard drive. Thus, different individual tests are performed, the individual results in the end be set off as the total. Some tests are still highly topical, particularly when it comes to synchronous operation. Therefore, is also reflected in our new benchmark course the supposedly dusty PCMark05.

A little over two years after the introduction of the PCMark05, the Futuremark benchmark for assessing the performance of a computer in many different application scenarios presented, the Finnish manufacturer to PCMark07, PCMark Vantage called before. Once again, private companies and should be based on a compact program in a position to assess the performance of a computer based on a broad basis of tests as objective as possible. All details on the new benchmark represents our shipping PCMark Vantage ready. The biggest hurdle in the system requirements of PCMark Vantage is the operating system because benchmark version of 2007 carries the Windows Vista only with their service - one more reason to test our new system with Windows Vista to undergo a thorough examination. The data compression software 7-Zip has in recent years gained much popularity. This was attributable not only in comparison to other packers better compression rate of ZIP and GZIP or own 7z format with. Compared to the competition, the software is free and ad-free and is also in for a 64-bit version available.

[Solaris]

Although 7-Zip is free and superior in terms of compression rate many competitors, the software comes in terms of distribution does not come to WinRAR, in the form of RAR for DOS and Windows 3.1 is available. Meanwhile, WinRAR is indeed in a position next to zip and other formats such as, for example, to unpack 7z, however, only to compress RAR and ZIP are available. Since WinRAR 3.60 now offers the popular Packer Multi-core support. It should be noted is the program that with each new version and faster processors is all a little bit faster and more compressed, so that the projection of 7-Zip has been reduced considerably. The program needs (such as 7-Zip) to the program folder of Anno 1701 at maximum quality settings in the format .Rar compressed. With the two packers WinRAR and 7-Zip the dilemma of the TLB bug is really clear once again. The first quad-core CPUs come in the B2 stepping back behind even the smallest dual-core processors.

The popular Maxon Cinema4D is in our benchmark course represented in the form of Cinebench R10 Cinebench 2003 and its successor. The software uses raytracing to up to 16 processors, and thus benefits from all currently on the market desktop processors from AMD or Intel. In our test, we present both the familiar version of Cinebench 2003 and the mid-2007 published version of Cinebench R10. As usual, the charts show the one hand, the test with only one processor core, on the other, the multi-core test. NewTek Lightwave 3D , a long history to look back on and was, among other things for special effects in movies such as Jurassic Park, Titanic, X-Men, Spiderman and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones used. Also in TV series such as Stargate SG-1 will make use of the capabilities of ray tracing software. The official list of films is impressive and all, before long. Even with computer games like Quake 4 and Serious Sam 2 was no way Lightwave past.

I would like to discuss about the Video Coding. Although the Blu-ray Disc (BD) and High Density DVD (HD DVD) is already the successor to the DVD launched for upgrading, the dominant position of the DVD for the foreseeable future can not be broken. For this, not least the large installed base of DVD players and Recoder and ensure the start of the high price of the newcomers. The DVD is and will remain so for the time being the medium of choice, especially when it comes to the release of new films. Equally important is to duplicate it (not copy-protected) media for data backup. Since movies are usually on a DVD-9 (double layer) ships with a capacity of 8.5GB, they must be re-encoded to fit on a standard DVD-5 with 4.7 GB capacity. To succeed, the quality of this as an MPEG2 video will be reduced accordingly. Software to Shrink a DVD-Video benefited generally from multiple processor cores. The result is a regular in the DVD player playable version of menu. The specific program parameters Nero automatically sets. Nero Recode we have decided that since the implementation of processors with more than one core takes advantage of the widespread and current Nero 8 suite. This could almost be the best discipline of the new processors from AMD. Generally very good performance can even look like the fastest Intel processors pale. Positive but are also the older AMD processors as compared to the Core 2 Duo.

Since DivX 6.1 (code name helium) support for the popular videos MPEG-4/ASP-Codec and dual-core processors and achieved depending on the configuration to increase the encoding rate by more than 150 percent. The performance differences are more pronounced the higher the quality level is. In previous tests processor DV and MPEG2 video was encoded at different quality settings for DivX 6.1. The trend here too the results were the same. The were selected in DV, low-quality settings for audio and video encoding single-core processors to cut a little better. Because of the greater practical relevance are now only the results of the MPEG2 encoding published. For recent use DivX is 6.7, includes the experimental support for the SSE4 instruction set. Intel has just through these instructions in conjunction with DivX promised a big performance boost to users in the approaches is already apparent. At the point, however, depends much on the kind of attention. Intel has provided a small guide, the "optimal" settings for the best possible result, they have, thanks to settings such as "no sound" little relation to reality. Therefore, we use our traditional video and retain the previous settings. With the new processor, we test so even in the conventional SSE2 optimization, as currently supports every CPU, and in the new but still experimental SSE4 version. In order not to distort the final result of a rating in each case the fastest processor is included in the chart presented at the SSE4 CPUs for information but also the SSE2 result. The first time with the AMD Phenom SSE4.1A introduced variant, which differs from Intel's SSE4 and is not compatible, is not supported currently. Therefore, it can be tested only in SSE2 mode.

The target size for all amateur filmmakers (at least for now) to be the DVD is a movie in the MPEG2 standard. The video itself here is usually referred to as Digital Video (DV) before. For the test we have to TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress 4.3.1.222 familiar and converted a 20 minutes long and unedited video with a size of less than four gigabytes in a 1.3 GB MPEG2 file. Should it go fast again, does one or the other on the back maybe with Windows XP (x64) or delivered separately as an upgrade available on Windows Movie Maker, version 2.0. Probably due to the not so small user base of this benchmark has been included in the course. The earlier occasions used DV material is converted to the 1.7 Mbps bit rate for WMV.

I would like to provide about the Audio Coding. There is a wide range of devices supported by and has in the past even further support for 5.1 channel audio . The range of encoders for MP3 is varied. For our test, we picked out two representatives. Especially popular is the free software Lame , which is different from programs used. We test with Beta 2 of Lame 3.97. This is a 32-bit application that delivers on performance level of the last and final version 3.96.1 does not use multiple processor cores. Thus, dual-core processors benefit only if multiple files are converted in parallel. In addition to this version, there is a feasibility study ( documentation ), which shows that Lame for multi-processor systems can be optimized in a limited extent. From these experimental alpha release versions with Intel and Microsoft compilers for Windows x32 and x64. Given the miserable performance of the Microsoft variant version, we test the Intel compiler. With iTunes, we repeat the procedure. It is the same music file again in the format. Mp3 converted, then in AAC. In the settings have been be given to ensure that the quality setting of 192 kbit / s were maintained.

One of the oldest benchmarks is 3DMark03. Yet he enjoys, especially among people who have done this test once before years ago with a not so good graphics card, very popular. Even with overclockers the test is still performed, which can lead to absurd values in the high 5-figure range. We have included this benchmark for completeness. The 3DMark05 is technically still at a very high level. Such great textures come with the resolution 2048x2048, mixed with the use of Shader Model 3.0, 2.x or 2.0, is used. The program released last year, makes use of complex lighting effects, dynamic shadows, bump mapping complex effects required and above all, high performance geometry. The result reflects only the speed of the graphics card again, because even with this latest hardware is always the bottleneck. Probably the biggest drawback to 3DMark05, the large driver optimizations of all current graphics card manufacturer. These go as far as changing the final results depending on the driver in the double-digit percentage range, thus reducing quality improvements can not be excluded. In addition, the synthetic benchmark is based on any game engine, which is why he is not a real situation. The well-known benchmark series by Futuremark heard in the latest version of the name "3DMark06" Of the six test scenes of four sequences measure the performance of the graphics card and display a graphic superb, second to none. To achieve that, the Finns use modern 3D technology, so not only massively the shader model is used 3.0, and extremely costly textures, spectacular particle effects, complex shadows calculations and as a further highlight "High Dynamic Range Rendering" - be - in short HDRR used.

The programmer of the horror shooter FEAR Doom 3 seem to have adopted as a role model, whereby, however, seems almost to make everything better. Among other things, the very oppressive atmosphere is achieved by an image quality second to none. Shader effects in masses, beautiful bump mapping, very spectacular shadows, detailed textures and beautifully-looking particle effects and much more the player gets to face, so FEAR has already become a compulsory course for a good benchmark. We use the multiplayer demo, which features an integrated benchmark function. The famous Quake series by id Software is always a highlight for a "first person shooter fan, because their games have not only a high entertainment value, but therefore also come with a graphics superb, the sets of often raise the bar a good bit higher . The current version, Quake 4 was, but from Raven Software programming and uses a slightly enhanced Doom 3 engine. Thus, the graph is at a high level, but can not set new standards. Nevertheless, the game offers extensive character of many textures and shadows a lot for the eye. The selected time demo shows several fire fights and spectacular shade and color games. It used the latest official version of the game with patch 1.42. The eye can get almost everything offered what is currently possible with modern hardware. Detailed textures, beautiful to look landscapes, nice shader effects, such as the representation of water, including the breaking of the waves and make a lot more Anno 1701 into a veritable feast. For this reason, is the strategy game, one of the few of its kind for participation in a review, because in addition to the GPU and the CPU has a lot to calculate.
