AMD Athlon II 7850 Black Edition AM2+ CPU Review

Testing:

ScienceMark tests real world performance instead of using synthetic benchmarks. For this test, we ran the benchmark suite and will use the overall score for comparison.

Higher is Better!

CineBench is useful for testing your system, CPU and OpenGL capabilities using the software program CINEMA 4D. We will be using the default tests for this benchmark.

Higher is Better

HD Tune measures disk performance to make comparisons between drives or disk controllers.

In ScienceMark, the X2 7850 took out the X2 7750, X4 810, E8400 and E7200. In CineBench, it started out strong, but then it gave in - only beating the X2 7750 in the multi-core test. In HD Tune, as usual, the AMD based chipset suffered.
