PowerCache high electric capacity of compensation, 80mm PWM a pair of ball fans…etc to add its character. VGA is HD5830 of ATI latest series After AMD merged ATI, it feels that AMD developed a very well market on VGA in the past two years. ATI is comparatively fast to lunch new products, and the C/P rates seem also higher to make the two “A” group creating a bigger market for themselves. By the way, high-end VGA board seems a little bit longer than previous ones. The 5830 on hand is longer than GTX260. And the “Black/Red” of ATI VGA seem a very good match on AMD MB. Let’s go outside and take some fresh air and then we are going to do some function tests later on. Test platform CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition MB: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula DRAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR CMD4GX3M2B1600C7 VGA: ATI Radeon HD 5830 CrossFire HD: CORSAIR CMFSSD-128GBG2D POWER: Antec TPQ-1200 Cooler: Thermaltake Frio OS: Windows7 Ultimate 64bit Preserve efficiency CPU 200.7 X 16 =>3210.9MHz DDR3 1605.4 CL7 7-7-21 1T Hyper 12 X PI 32M=> 23m 18.745s CPUMARK 99 =>494 Fritz Chess Benchmark =>23.54/11298 CrystalMark 2004R3 =>212169 CINEBENCH R11.5 CPU =>5.67 pts CPU(Single Core) =>1.09 pts PCMark Vantage =>13009 The records of Phenom II X6 1090T seem much higher than Phenom II X4 by the major testing programs. Especially the efficiency of Phenom II X6 1090T can be higher 50% more than X4. Phenom II X6 also can save some operation time for users if they require “multi-high-loading” software. Temperature The stand-by of the system -27/38 |
The full speed of OCCT -37/45 The data of temperature, the radiator of quality and inaccuracy of the software must be taken into account, however, based on AMD 6Cores made under 45nm to produce it that the performance of temperature is outstanding no matter at stand-by or full speed. 3D performance - ATI Radeon HD 5830 CrossFire Hour pulse of GPU/GDDR5 800/1000 3DMark Vantage CPU SCORE =>16667 GPU SCORE =>19308 StreetFighter IV Benchmark 1920 X 1200 =>148.58FPS Biohazard5 Benchmark 1280 X 720 =>90.9 fps Call of Juarez 1024 X 768 =>Avg 80.7 The performance of ATI Radeon HD 5830 is very close to the high-end VGA level The power consumption testing The stand-by of the system -140W CPU at full speed -206W There is only 76W different from the power consumption on X6 1090T between full speed and stand-by mode. And the total power consumption is 140W, AMD is doing very well in consumption this time. The efficiency of south bridge Efficiency specification 220/180 MB/s of CORSAIR CMFSSD-128GBG2D SSD ATTO DISK Benchmark exceeds above 128k, read can be 217 MB/s at most while testing and write can be 190 MB/s CrystalDiskMark that read can be 230.9 Mb/s, writes can be 175.1 MB/s FDEBENCH that read can be 230 Mb/s, write can be 177 MB/s The reading efficiency of the new edition south bridge can reach to 217-230 MB/s. And there is no big difference with the average writing speed, which is still between the range of 175~190 MB/s by the official report. The SB850 not only supports SATA 3.0 but also performs very well in SATA transmission. And next time, I will test the RAID0 function, And hope which will be also better than the previous AMD chipsets. |
Exceed the efficiency frequently CPU 281 X 14.5 =>4073.9MHz DDR3 1873 CL8 8-8-24 1T BIOS setting of the picture Hyper 12 X PI 32M=> 19m 09.894s CPUMARK 99 =>559 Fritz Chess Benchmark =>29.29/11298 CrystalMark 2004R3 =>252869 CINEBENCH R11.5 CPU =>1.22 pts CPU(Single Core) =>7.09 pts PCMark Vantage =>13898 After we over-clocked X6 1090T to 4073MHz frequently, the records from most testing programs are going up 20-30%. But the strange thing is that there is no big difference from the PCMark Vantage, Generally speaking, the more cores we have the lower over-clocking range it performs, but it can be stable by using 1.45V, so it means the over-clocking capability of X6 is not lower than X4, If we add more voltage on X6 to make it over 1.6V, it might be able to reach to 4.3-4.4GHz. Due to the stability is not steady, I didn’t do more relative testing on it. Temperature performance The stand-by of the system -29/43 OCCT at full speed -48/54 |
3D efficiency -ATI Radeon HD 5830 CrossFire Hour pulse of GPU/GDDR5 875/1200 3DMark Vantage CPU SCORE =>20584 GPU SCORE =>21123 StreetFighter IV Benchmark 1920 X 1200 =>162.81FPS Biohazard5 Benchmark 1280 X 720 =>109.1 fps Call of Juarez 1024 X 768 =>Avg 84.5 There’s no much MHz can be adjustable based on the enclosed program of ATI Catalyst, There are 5~20% of efficiency can be improved under the different 3D software, if you want to advance its performance; you need to find VGA software in addition. The power consumption testing The stand-by of the system -155W CPU at full speed -280W The different power consumption between stand-by and full speed is 125W or so, it can be acceptable after the comparison between Power consumption data and efficiency that CPU improved. DDR3 efficiency Corsair DOMINATOR-GT CMD4GX3M2B1600C7 will be best match with AMD DRAM DDR3 1605.4 CL7 7-7-21 1T Sandra Memory Bandwidth - 13563 MB/s EVEREST Memory Read - 9361 MB/s DRAM DDR3 1873 CL8 8-8-24 1T Sandra Memory Bandwidth - 15101 MB/s EVEREST Memory Read - 10296 MB/s |
DRAM DDR3 2006.6 CL9 9-9-24 1T Sandra Memory Bandwidth - 13484 MB/s EVEREST Memory Read - 9726 MB/s To upgrade to DDR3 1800 is the character of AMD 890FX, the previous AMD chips only can run DDR3 under 1600~1700. If BIOS can be improved more, it’s possible to reach to DDR3 1900~2000. AMD has upgraded their supporting on DRAM frequency to a standard level, but it will be prefect if AMD platform can emphasize more enhanced frequency performance in the future design. AMD new series of Phenom II X6 bring a very good help to the customers who need multiple operations, also the temperature and power consumption is less than my expectation under 45nm proceeding technology. Furthermore, the price of X6 CPU is pretty reasonable to compare with the similar high level products. If you just intend to upgrade your PC to Phenom II X4, I think it’s a very good choice to make it directly to Phenom II X6 1055T with only few expense. For those users who already have AMD3 chipset, most of them are also quite easy to have it supported with Phenom II X6 by using the BIOS update. Recently AMD put out a series of product lines just like 880G/870/890GX/890FX to support their own new CPU models. The over-clocking frequency and the data transfer rates are also better are higher with 890FX North bridge chip I tested, and the SB850 South bridge chip also supports SATA 3.0. But I think it would be wonderful to make AMD chipsets fully functional if which can also supports USB3.0 by single chip. Although the performance of AMD CPU is not as well as their competitor’s on the same frequency level, but the “multi-core” & “pricing” strategy seem workable and helpful to expand their market a lot. Just liked I mentioned before that it is the new CPU generation in 2010 after INTEL and AMD individually launch their 6-Core CPUs, and which has started a new generation of competition. Rely on the pricing advantage, let’s expect that AMD will put out more Phenom II X6 series on the market in the near future. Users will be able to upgrade their PC to Phenom II X6 with a lower pricing or they can still keep their old MB by using the BIOS update. We believed it will be a great advantage for both AMD and all users. |
