AMD Phenom II X3 720 Deneb Core Review / Processors and Memory

As you already know, AMD has successfully made the transition to 45 nm process technology, and the first such processors will be on sale in the very near future. In a crisis, this step is very important for AMD, because in this way the company solves several problems at once. The most important of them — the cost and performance of processors. Let’s start with the cost. Everything is quite simple here — a thinner process technology allows manufacturing smaller processor cores, which increases the number of cores on one plate. Consequently, the cost of each core is reduced and, while maintaining the selling price, the profit increases. However, it is not certain that the new 45 nm process technology will help AMD achieve this economic effect. The thing is that the performance of the first Phenom processors was significantly inferior to competitors in the face of a variety of Intel Core. Accordingly, all of AMD’s efforts to move to 45 nm process technology were aimed at increasing CPU performance, which means improving and upgrading the Phenom core, which was called Phenom II.

At one time, Intel switched from 65 nm to 45 nm technical process and at the same time made only «cosmetic» changes to the Core core. The performance of the core remained at the same level, but the cost of manufacturing processors dropped significantly. The fact is that Intel could afford not to increase performance until their processors had worthy competitors.

So, what are the main changes in the Phenom II core. Firstly, the number of transistors has been significantly (more than 1.5 times) increased. Now on a core of 258 square meters. mm fits 758 million transistors (Phenom has these figures, respectively — 285 sq. mm and 450 million). The lion’s share of additional transistors is reserved for the third level cache memory. Its size has grown to 6 MB against 2 MB for Phenom I. In addition, the cache memory latency has been reduced, its associativity has been increased, and the integrated memory controller now works with both DDR2 and DDR3 memory. Here it is necessary to make a reservation that only AM3 processors have such a universal memory controller, while Phenom II AM2+ supports only DDR2 memory.

All this is good, of course, but the most important factor is that 45 nm processors have less heat dissipation and a higher frequency potential. This means that AMD is finally able to release processors with frequencies above 2.6 GHz (the limit for 65 nm process technology). As for the typical level of heat dissipation, for top 4-core processors this figure has been reduced from 125 W to 95 W.

A few words about the range of new AMD Phenom II processors. Initially, the company introduced only two 4-core models in the AM2+ package: 940 and 920. Then, the range was expanded to include processors in the AM3 package: 4-core 925, 910 (6 MB L3), 4-core 810, 805 (4 MB L3) and 3-core 720, 710 (6 MB L3). For ease of understanding, we present the following table:

The obvious advantage in favor of the AM3 socket is quite understandable: such processors can work on both AM3 and AM2+ motherboards. Thus, AM3 processors are more versatile than their AM2+ counterparts. The latter, by the way, are not able to work on AM3 boards due to mechanical incompatibility — the AM3 connector has only 938 contacts. Check for yourself:

So, for testing, we got a 3-core Phenom II X3 720 processor.

The nominal frequency of this processor is 2.8 GHz, and with the standard HTT reference frequency of 200 MHz, we get a multiplier of 14. However, the peculiarity of this model is that the multiplier can be changed both downward and upward, which much more interesting. Thus, AMD wants to attract the attention of a significant part of computer enthusiasts with ease of overclocking. And, in order to somehow emphasize this feature, AMD processors with a free multiplier have the Black Edition suffix.

Now let’s look at the information provided by the CPU-Z utility:

nine0003

Compared to the Toliman core, only the L3 cache size has been increased; the rest of the characteristics are the same: each core has a 128 KB L1 cache, of which 64 KB are reserved for data, and the second 64 KB for instructions. Further — each core is equipped with 512 KB cache memory of the second level. The set of supported technologies (1E, Cool & Quiet) and sets of additional instructions, starting from MMX, 3DNow! and ending with SSE4A, x86-64.

nine0003

Acceleration

Based on preliminary information, we can expect pretty good overclocking results. A more subtle process is simply obliged to ensure a significant increase in clock frequencies, and a free multiplier — the ease of achieving them. So, increase the Vcore voltage to 1.5 V and start increasing the multiplier. The final result was recorded at a frequency of 3.6 GHz:

A further increase in voltage and the selection of the multiplier and frequency of HTT allowed us to increase the result by only 18 MHz:

nine0003

Compared to the first generation of Phenom processors, we note an increase in the frequency potential by half a gigahertz, which is very good. Thus, even if the Phenom II has the same «specific» performance per 1 MHz as the Phenom I, it is significantly better than the latter in terms of overclocking. But according to AMD, the Phenom II should be faster than its predecessor. How much faster? Now let’s check.

Capacity

The following equipment was used in the test system:

Synthetic tests

Application software tests

Video encoding (DivX, Xvid) was measured in seconds, i.e. less is better.

Data compression (WinRAR) was measured in Kb/s, i.e. more is better.

Game software tests

As you can see, we ran a series of tests on the Phenom II X3 at 2.4 GHz and thus were able to compare it with the Phenom I X3 processor at the same frequency. The conclusion is simple — the new processor is faster in all tests, and in some applications it is significantly faster.

Terminals

So, the Phenom II X3 processor is almost as fast as the Intel Core 2 Duo processors, and has almost the same frequency potential. It turns out that he is almost as good? Here we will make a clear and unambiguous conclusion — yes, there is no significant difference between these two products. The thing is that this «almost» is easily compensated by the third processor core (recall that Core 2 Duo is a dual-core processor). Moreover, the Phenom II 720 Black Edition model has a free multiplier, which makes overclocking an easy and enjoyable experience for the average user. In particular, to operate at a frequency of 3 GHz, the test processor did not even need to increase the voltage. And finally, we note that we conducted performance tests on a board with DDR2 memory, while using DDR3 RAM (we will soon conduct such testing) can slightly increase the speed in individual applications.

Such a rosy picture for AMD is somewhat overshadowed by the following facts. First, the inertia of users who have been confident for several years that Core 2 Duo processors are the best choice. By the way, motherboard manufacturers are also confident in this and, accordingly, the assortment of motherboards for the AMD platform is significantly inferior to the assortment of motherboards for Intel processors. And finally, there is the question of price. The recommended retail price for the Phenom II X3 720 is $145, but what it will be in reality is still unclear. And even if it is less than the price of competing processors, will this price difference be able to break the inertia of users? Not yet known. Thus, we will formulate the final conclusion: the Phenom II X3 processors are excellent products, but their market success requires appropriate efforts from the marketing department of AMD. nine0003
