PCMark Vantage => 5514


DDR3 1339.2 CL9 9-9-24 1T
Sandra Memory Bandwidth - 7915 MB/s
EVEREST Memory Read - 12019 MB/s


Due to use Phenom II X4 CPU, the multi-core benchmark is good.
This AMD platform is capable for graphic design, file transformation, multimedia and multi-tasking.

3DMARK2006 => 1687


StreetFighter IV Benchmark
800 X 600 => 24.37FPS


Biohazard5 Benchmark
800 X 600 => 10.4 fps


Call of Juarez
1024 X 768 => Avg 11.5


AMD 785G is almost the best performance IGP chipset in the market.
For mid to high end 3D Game, it’s still far away for smooth running.
But for entry 3D Game or software, 785G is enough.

Power Consumption
Standby - 69W


OCCT Full Speed - 141W
POWER SUPPLY mode，Shader Complexity 8


The whole system power consumption is very good, especially for quad core CPU plus 785G. It is good performance and green.
I hope AMD can launch more low voltage and power CPU.

OC Performance
CPU 300 X 13 => 3900MHz
DDR3 1600 CL8 8-8-20 1T
VGA 770MHz

Nuclearus Multi Core => 17145
Fritz Chess Benchmark => 19.64/9426


CrystalMark 2004R3 => 193687


CINEBENCH R10
1 CPU => 4506
x CPU => 16379

AMD platform is high C/P value in the market and also for budget concerned users.
Also, X2/X3 CPU is cheaper and probably able to enable extra cores and L3 cache to enhance performance. This is another selling point.
X4 product is mid end CPU line. It’s also can be considered by higher budget users.
If it plus 785G products, most MB brands provide fair price products.
For All in one, AMD CPU and MB are the most cost effective one.



This article is focus on AMD mid-end products. The products here are not the cheapest one, but the good quality and performance.
If you have the same demand, you can refer to this review configuration.
If the budget is lower or have favorite brands, you also can pick up your own combination.

AMD CPU performance is still 10-20% behind the competitor. However, their price control policy is quite well.
Most AMD CPU is for entry and mid-end market. It does attract many users who concern about C/P value.
In the future, AMD will launch 890GX. I hope the performance can be even better.
AMD 45nm CPU yield rate can be improved to achieve 4G in lower voltage.
It will help AMD to gain more market share in 2010.

These continuous AMD Athlon II Unlock Core and Phenom II X4 reviews are for AMD fans.

Wish all of you can find your perfect match system this year. :)
