Benchmaring of the processor on ASRock AOD790GX/128M AMD 790GX/SB750 Mainboard
 

In this test, the 3GHz processor is paired up with a ATi Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. The system used 2x1GB DDR2-1066 memory running at CAS 5, 7-7-24, 2T. The BIOS used is 1.25. The processor runs at 15x200Mhz =3GHz.

In the following pages, we will compare the performance of this processor 940 cross referencing performance of the Core i7 and QX9770.

We first ran SiSoft Sandra XII and check out the results.

It can be seen that the memory benchmark scored 6128MB/s and 6114MB/s. Dhrystone ALU scored 45240 MIPS and 39143 MFLOPS. In terms of memory performance, it outperformed most of the Intel platform as shown in the diagram below but in actual fact, the Intel Core i7 scored over 14.25GB/s for it's Intel and Float memory benchmark.

As for Processor Arithmetic, AMD Phenom II X4 940 scored 45780 MIPS and 39241 MFLOPS. The Core i7 940 scored 51.64 GIPS and 49.41 GFLOPS.

As for multimedia test, the Phenom II X4 940 scored 114274 iit/s and 150662 fit/s. The Core i7 uses a different approach, thus the score cannot be compared directly.

If we were to compare with a QX9770 at (7x400), for Processor Arithmetic, Dhrystone scored  60050, Whetstone is 47050. Processor multimedia gives scores of int x8 as 371750 iit/s and float x4 at 193320 fit/s. It seems that the Intel QX9770 is still way stronger in this area.
