Phenom Models and Details, Continued
We were particularly interested in AMD's claims of Phenom performing up to 25% faster per clock than the recent Athlon 64 X2 processors. Given that there hasn't been any architectural revolution like the one that Intel initiated when switching from Netburst to Core, a 25% performance enhancement per clock is significant. It even appears a bit hard to believe, which is why decided to have a close look at the new processor. We compared the Athlon 64 X2 and Phenom 9900 at a 2.6 GHz base clock speed, using only a single core.
| Phenom CPUs | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Clock Speed | L2 Cache | L3 Cache | TDP |
| AMD Phenom 9700 | 2.4 GHz | 4x 512 kB | 2 MB | 125 W |
| AMD Phenom 9600 | 2.3 GHz | 4x 512 kB | 2 MB | 95 W |
| AMD Phenom 9500 | 2.2 GHz | 4x 512 kB | 2 MB | 95 W |
Phenoms all look alike: this is our engineering sample, which is multiplier-unlocked.

it is clock speed the phenom lacks. if amd can just bump its speed up to around 3ghz-3.6ghz then it would make good competition towards faster intels. i can conclude from this benchmark that if you buy an phenom 9850 and clock it around 3ghz you have much more horse power then you would have with an athlon x2 6000+ however some benchmarks might tell you something else it makes sence if you use 1066mhz memory or just 800mhz mem
