thats an insanely low vcore...I wonder if these can clock to 3.6-4ghz with some more voltage?

Pictures of AMD Phenom 9600 processor and CPU-Z screen shot. The name of the CPU is Phenom X4 with codename Agena. It is rated 65nm at a core voltage of 0.976v. The processor is labelled Phenom 9600 clocked at 2.3GHz. The CPU is installed on a NF560 chipset mainboard, that is the reason you see the HT is set to 1GHz. It has 512K L2 cache and 2M L3 cache.

So how does it fare when compared with Intel QX series of processors. Read on and you will find out with the preliminary result.

Multimedia
Using Sandra XII Processor Multi-media test, we can see that in processor Multi-media, the results of the 9600 is definitely no match for the high end QX6800 and QX6700. Phenom 9600 scores 87564iit/s in Int X4 test and 115225 fit/s in x4 iSSE2. Of course, when compared to the Core 2 Duo, this processor is definitely much better in multimedia cruching.

Arithemetic

In Processor Arithemetic, we can see that both the QX6700 and QX6800 leads the race. The Phenom X4 scored 35235/29630 in Drystone ALU and Whetstone iSSE3. This score is better than the Athlon X2 6400+ processor.

they don't look amazing, no. But look, it's running at a 1ghz HT and on only 1gb ram.

YEs, I have to agree, this is a very unsatisfying benchmark....

Would really like to see how it performs once they are out (overclockign mainly)
