| AMD's Phenom X3 8750 - The Power of 3 | |

(Author: Michael Schuette, April 27, 2008) | |
Memory Subsystem
We used SiSoft Sandra XII SP2 (earlier versions of Sandra crashed on the triple core) to get an idea whether there was any specific issue with the asymmetric distribution of cores across the memory controllers. Keep in mind, though that all cores are connected to each of the two memory controllers through the NB, using a crossbar configuration, in so far, at least in theory, there should not be a problem.
SiSoft Sandra XII SP2 Memory Bandwidth
The X3 8750 scores somewhat lower than the X4-9850. Part of this has to be attributed to the lower speed of the NorthBridge running at 1.8 GHz as opposed to 2 GHz on the 9850.
