AMD Phenom II X3/X4 Roundup
[Abstract]
DDR3 at Last It has been a difficult time for both AMD and Intel, affected as they are by falling demand resulting from the current economic 'gloom and doom'. Intel reported dismal revenues for...

Results - SPEC CPU2000 v1.3
As usual, we started off with SPEC CPU2000 to find out the raw integer and floating point performance of these processors. Unfortunately, we ran into issues completing the benchmark using the Phenom II X4 810 and at the moment, we do not have the results for this processor. We did manage to get the results from the X3 720 'Black Edition' and the peak scores for fp and int appeared to be on par with the Phenom II X4 920. This made sense given that both CPUs are clocked at 2.8GHz, with similar L3 cache sizes. The HT bus on the X3 720 however is running a tad faster at 2.0GHz.
While these scores meant that the X3 720 was around 23% faster than the older Phenom X3 8750, it was still far from the Intel dual-cores here with their higher clock speeds, not to mention the Core i7, especially when it came to floating point performance. When it came to the two and four-user threads, the Phenom II processors were generally unable to keep up with their Intel counterparts, though the Phenom II X4 920 did match the Core i7 920 for int_rate for the four-user workload.
