AMD Phenom 9900 Review

Testing:

SiSoft Sandra is a diagnostic utility and synthetic benchmarking program. Sandra allows you to view your hardware at a higher level to be more helpful. For this benchmark, I will be running a broad spectrum of tests to gauge the performance of key areas of the motherboards.

 

 

 

 

 

Processor Arithmetic

 

 

Multi-Core Efficiency

 

Memory Bandwidth

 

 

Memory Latency

 

 

Cache and Memory

 

 

File System

 

Physical Disks

 

 

Power Management Efficiency

 

As in all other AMD 940 processors, due to the smaller L2 cache, processor arithmetic and multi-core seem to fall short again, but due to its onboard memory controllers and each cores' individual pipelines, the Phenom is stronger in memory.
