AMD Phenom II 720 and 810 AM3 Review

Testing:

Specview 10 is a benchmark designed to test OpenGL performance. I will be using the multi-threaded tests to measure the performance when run in this mode. The tests used for comparison are listed below. The default multi-threaded tests were chosen to be able to compare across platforms. In these tests, higher scores equate to better performance.

• Catia
• MAYA
• PROE

Higher is Better

Higher is Better

PcMark Vantage is used to measure complete system performance. We will be running a series of tests to gauge performance of each individual board to see which board, if any, rises above the others.

For Specview the AM3 processors trailed the rest of the processors except in PROE where it did finally take over the Q9450 and the X4 810 was one of the top performers. In PCMark Vantage they were slower than the X4 940, however the X3 720 performed better than the Intel Q9450.
