AMD A6-3650 vs. Intel Core i3-2100 im Test: CPU + GPU für unter 90 Euro (Seite 4)

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Transcodierung

Moderne GPUs können weitaus mehr als nur die Grafik auf den Bildschirm zu zaubern. Ein Einsatzgebiet ist das Transcodieren von Videos, sei es in andere Auflösungen oder andere Codecs. Um die Geschwindigkeit auf AMDs neuer Fusion-Plattform zu testen, wandeln wir einen 1.080p-Trailer (3:30 Minuten) mittels des H.264-Codecs in die Auflösung 1.280×720 um.

Einheit: Minuten, Sekunden

Der Verlust vom 300 MHz kostet den A6-3650 beim Transcodieren eines Film-Trailers mit dem H. 264-Codec ziemlich genau eine Minute gegenüber dem A8-3850 – damit sind satte 16 Minuten notwendig, bis der Arbeitsaufwand erledigt ist. Unser auf 2,6 GHz herunter getakteter A8-3850 bestätigt diese Zeit.

Die Rechenzeit auf der GPU ist dagegen deutlich kürzer, wobei die optischen Ergebnisse von den CPU-Varianten abweichen. Hier liegt der Verlust des A6-Prozessor gegenüber dem größeren Bruder bei immerhin nur einer halben Minute – in neun Minuten und zwei Sekunden ist die Aufgabe erledigt. Die langsamere Radeon-Grafikeinheit macht übrigens nur die Hälfte der 30 Sekunden aus, da der A8-3850 mit 2,6 GHz acht Minuten und 49 Sekunden benötigt.

Der Intel Core i3-2100 benötigt auf der CPU rund 40 Sekunden weniger als der A6-3650, kann bei der GPU-Variante aber auftrumpfen. Dort sorgt Intels besserer ClearVideo-Algorithmus für einen Vorsprung von mehr als zwei Minuten.

Videobearbeitung mit vReveal

Mit Hilfe des Tools vReveal von MotionDSP lassen sich Videos bezüglich deren Qualität verändern. Sei es eine Rauschunterdrückung, das Verbessern von Farben, das Stabilisieren eines Videos, das nachhaltige Schärfen oder noch vieles mehr, vReveal macht ohne Hintergrundwissen sinnvolle Änderungen möglich. Wir testen die GPUs mit Hilfe der Version 3.0, wobei diese speziell auf AMD Vision-Produkte optimiert worden ist – dies sollte beachtet werden.

Als Testszenario schauen wir uns ein mit 30 Bildern pro Sekunde aufgenommenes Video in der Auflösung von 1.280×720 an und wenden die „One Click Fix“-Funktion auf dieses an. Die Herausforderung ist die Echtzeitanwendung und wie viele FPS noch übrig bleiben.

Einheit: Bilder pro Sekunde (FPS)

Während der AMD A8-3850 bei der „One Click Fix“-Funktion in vReveal auf acht Bilder pro Sekunde kommt, wenn die Berechnungen auf der CPU durchgeführt werden, sind es beim A6-3650 nur sieben Frames per Second. Beides ist zu langsam, um die Funktion nutzen zu können.

Deutlich besser läuft dagegen die GPU-Variante, wobei der A6-3650 mit 17 Bilder pro Sekunde drei FPS langsamer als das Llano-Flaggschiff ist. Der Unterschied kommt in dem Szenario ausschließlich durch die schwächere GPU zu Stande, der geringere CPU-Takt macht keinen Unterschied aus.

WebGL-Performance

Die wohl größte Neuerung von Firefox 4 (und Firefox 5) sowie dem Internet Explorer 9 ist eine neuartige GPU-Beschleunigung, die mittels der WebGL-API die 3D-Grafik des Browsers unterstützen kann. WebGL wurde primär von der Khronos Group entwickelt, wobei auch AMD und Nvidia mit von der Partie waren. WebGL muss von der Grafikkarte unterstützt werden, was nicht durchweg der Fall ist.

Die WebGL-Performance testen wir anhand der bekannten „Aquarium“-Demo. Wir haben die Einstellung auf 500 Fische erhöht, um die Recheneinheiten mehr zu fordern. Darüber hinaus schauen wir uns noch den „WebGL-Benchmark“ in der „Medium“-Einstellung an, der ein synthetischer Test ist und mehrere 3D-Szenarien durchlaufen lässt. Das Ergebnis wird in Punkten ausgegeben, während die Aquarium-Demo die gewohnten FPS-Werte liefert.

Einheit: Punkte

Im Aquarium-Benchmark für die WebGL-API gibt es in der CPU-Version keinerlei Differenzen zwischen den AMD-CPUs, mehr oder weniger als acht Bilder pro Sekunde erreicht kein Testkandidat.

Bei der GPU-Variante zeigen sich deutlich höhere FPS-Werte, jedoch spielt die CPU immer noch eine wichtige Rolle. So kommt der A8-3850 auf 38 Frames per Second. Taktet man diesen auf 2,6 GHz herunter, messen wir dagegen nur noch 35 FPS. Der A6-3650 mit derselben CPU-Frequenz und einer langsameren GPU kommt auf 34 FPS – der Hauptunterschied kommt also durch den geringeren CPU-Takt zu Stande.

Der Intel Core i3-2100 ist in der CPU-Version satte 50 Prozent schneller als die AMD-APU, hat dafür das Nachsehen, wenn die GPU genutzt wird. Dann liegt der Rückstand bei fünf Bildern pro Sekunde.

Dasselbe Ergebnis zeigt sich im synthetischen WebGL-Test. Selbst in der GPU-Variante spielt die CPU eine entscheidende Rolle. Dort ist der A6-3650 genau zehn Prozent langsamer als der A8-3850, wobei aber nur zwei Prozent mit der langsameren GPU begründet sind. Der Core i3-2100 liegt im synthetischen Test interessanterweise sowohl in der CPU- als auch in der GPU-Variante deutlich zurück.

We all see that the modern processor market is just full of various rumors and discussions of products from leading manufacturers, as well as their further plans for the development of their products. Not so long ago there were announcements of new Bulldozer architectures from AMD and Sandy Bridge-E from Intel. If the former caused disappointment among many AMD fans due to unfulfilled hopes for a record level of performance, then the latter, focused on maximum performance, confuses the total cost of the system as a whole. Despite everything, both architectures somehow represent the so-called Hi-End class solutions for performing resource-intensive tasks. If you are building a system for use in so-called «domestic» tasks, which means playing multimedia, office work, web surfing and running not too demanding applications, there is no need for serious financial costs, because. each of the manufacturers is able to satisfy the wishes in the so-called budgetary sector.

AMD hybrid processors can be considered as one of such solutions. We have already introduced you to the quad-core APUs (AMD A6-3650 and A8-3850), which are able to provide a fairly high level of performance. However, if the buyer is either limited by financial resources, or simply does not need record performance, the developers also offer somewhat simplified models. One such option is the triple-core AMD APU A6-3500, which we will introduce you to in more detail today.

Appearance and packaging

Traditionally, let’s get acquainted with the boxed version of the processor from the packaging. We see that its graphic design is bright and catchy and, by the way, is absolutely identical to the more productive models considered earlier.

On the left side wall there is a transparent window through which you can easily get acquainted with the processor and its marking. Naturally, the developers focus the buyer’s attention on the advantages of a hybrid processor: support for the built-in DirectX 11 graphics core, energy efficiency, small dimensions. Below is a logo with the class designation AMD VISION A6. APUs in this class are designed for advanced multitasking, photo editing, HD video playback, and not too demanding games.

On the upper side there is a familiar sticker with the key characteristics of the proposed processor: model ( A6 3500 ), clock frequency ( 2.10 GHz ), cache memory size ( 3 MB ), processor socket ( FM1 ), serial number and product code.

You can see that apart from indicating the processor series (A6), there are no other identifying marks on the box that would allow specifying its model, which, in fact, we have seen before in other boxed versions of AMD APUs. This is quite logical, because. it is much easier to use a packaging design that is “generalizing” for a series and pack several product options into them. First of all, this approach can somewhat reduce the cost of printing due to flexible «manoeuvring» in the market, depending on the demand for certain models of hybrid CPUs.

In the boxed version of the package you will see a cooling system, instructions for installing the processor, which also contains information about the warranty, and a branded sticker for the PC case indicating the model range.

The complete cooling system is marked DKM-7D 52A-A1-GP. Unfortunately, we were not able to find out more detailed information about the characteristics of this system, because manufacturer has not been identified. In short, it can be described as a budget solution that will provide the temperature regime required for a hybrid processor. The design is absolutely identical to a number of coolers supplied in boxed versions of AMD’s CPUs. The noise background during operation is no different from solutions of a similar class and cost. Therefore, if the system unit is placed close to the user over time, it may need to be replaced with a more efficient and quiet cooling system.

The heat-spreading cover of the processor shows: processor model, marking (AD3500OJZ33GX) and place of production (Malaysia). You can decipher the marking as follows:

  • A — the processor belongs to the AMD Athlon family;
  • D — the scope of this processor — workstations;
  • 3500 — model number;
  • OJ — thermal package of the processor 65 W;
  • Z — packaged processor in case 905 pin Socket FM1;
  • 3 — total number of active cores;
  • 3 — 1024 KB L2 cache per core and no L3 cache ;
  • GX is the core of the LN-B0 stepping processor.

The back of the APU has 905 Socket FM1 pins, so you’ll need a motherboard with the appropriate CPU socket to work.

After getting acquainted with the AMD APU A6-3500 specification, we can once again state the fact that almost all manufacturers try to sell everything that comes off the assembly line. So this processor is no exception, because. most likely he himself appeared as a rejected version of a full-fledged quad-core AMD APU A6-3650 with a slightly slower clock speed and activated Turbo Core technology, which ultimately affected the TDP, which became equal to 65 watts.

According to the CPU-Z utility, we have a processor made using a 32nm process technology based on the Llano architecture. The clock frequency of the APU is 2100 MHz, while the core voltage was 1.404 V. Please note that we have a three-core processor at our disposal. The maximum TDP, which, according to the utility, is determined to be 88 W is not correct, because. the manufacturer in the specification indicates a value of 65 watts.

Cache memory is distributed as follows: 64 KB per L1 cache core with 2-line associativity, which are equally divided into data and instruction caching; L2 cache — 1024 KB per core with 16-line associativity. You can see that based on the memory associativity, AMD APUs are related to AMD Athlon II and AMD Phenom II CPUs of the previous generation.

The DDR3 memory controller operates in dual channel mode and can support up to DDR3-1866 RAM.

The Radeon HD 6530D graphics core has 320 shader pipelines and 16 texture units. A distinctive feature of the AMD APU is the manufacture of both the computing component and the graphics component according to the 32 nm process technology. For the most complete information about the performance and capabilities of the graphics cores of hybrid processors in comparison with discrete graphics cards, as well as their operation in Dual Graphic mode, you can find out in the article «Testing integrated graphics cards AMD Radeon HD 6410D, Radeon HD 6530D and Radeon HD 6550D».

Graphics core performance

To determine the performance ratio of the graphics cores of the APUs we have already studied in comparison with similar solutions from Intel, a series of tests was performed. Please note that DDR3-1866 memory modules were used in the system to get the maximum performance of the graphics cores.

After testing, we see that the competition in the performance of integrated graphics cores is observed exclusively among AMD solutions. Between themselves, they line up in a clear chain according to the performance of the graphics part of the APU, and then according to the power of the computing component. When compared with Intel products, we observe at least a twofold lag of Intel HD Graphics 2000/3000 in synthetic tests, while the situation is aggravated by the lack of support for DirectX 11.

In gaming tests at sufficiently high screen resolutions, AMD APU shows a decent level of integrated graphics performance.
