 AMD's Phenom Processor - Beyond Erratum 298
(Author: Michael Schuette, January 1, 2008)

3D Rendering Performance

Cinebench

Cinebench2003 evolved into Cinebench 9.5 with added 64-bit capabilities and has recently been replaced by Cinebench 10. While it is always desirable to have the latest benchmarks available to take advantage of e.g. SSE4 instructions, the older versions are by no means obsolete.

Cinebench 9.5

Score, higher is better! Cinebench always appears to run better on Intel CPUs than on AMD processors but there is no doubt that the Phenoms don't do that well here.

Cinebench 10

Cinebench 10 has ridded itself of some of the more obscure benchmarks and the current version only features a single / multi CPU rendering benchmark along with an OpenGL exercise that we are not going to consider further.

Single CPU and Multi CPU performance in Cinebench 10; Score: Higher is better

Cinebench 10 uses SSE4 instructions whiuch boosts the performance of the Yorkfield CPUs. One thing to note is that even the 32-bit version gives much better results in a 64-bit OS with the Phenom. The native 64-bit version scores about 10500 points on the Phenom 9900.
