AMD Phenom X3 8750 Review

Testing:

First up are the system specific benchmarks that will test overall scientific performance.

To get things stated I will begin with Apophysis. This program is used primarily to render and generate fractal flame images. We will run this benchmark with the following settings:

• Resolution: 2750x2048
• Quality: 500
• Limit Memory use: 512MB

The measurement used is time to render, in minutes, to complete.

WinRAR is a tool to archive and compress large files to a manageable size. We will use 10MB, 100MB, and 500MB files, as well as test the time needed to compress these files. Time will be measured in seconds.

RAR:

The X3 scores lower in Apophysis, which is CPU speed dependent, but faired average in the Winrar tests.
