Konklusion
Det har været en fornøjelse, at have denne nye Phenom X4 9950 "BE" mellem hænderne, og set hvordan den yder. Der er som tidligere skrevet mere ydelse at hente, trods de få MHz forskel på 9850 og 9950. Samtidig er der lidt mere OC-potentiale i denne model, som må siges at være rigtig god, for ydelsen stiger også rigtig fint med de ekstra MHz man presser ud af processoren. Der er dog stadig langt til de gamle dage hvor man kunne overclocke ens AMD langt ind i *******. Men det er godt at se at der er sket forbedringer siden den første Phenom ramte markedet.
Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Phenom-serien er kommet langt siden den første udgave så dagens lys. TLB-bug er rettet, og dermed er der kommet en bedre stepping som giver mulighed for højere clockfrekvenser på CPU'en. Så der må siges at der er sket meget, men der er stadig et stykke vej, før man ser overclocking som i gamle dage. Men AMD er på den rigtige vej og det er godt.
Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Det er et standard bundle og der er faktisk ikke meget at kommentere her, for der medfølger ingen spil eller andre seje gadgets.
Ydelse - 4
Jeg har grublet lidt over hvilken score den skulle have i ydelse. Derfor skal det siges at det er lige på vippen til at den går ned på 3. Men syntes godt jeg kunne forsvarer at give et lille 4, da ydelsen er bedre end 9850 på de fleste punkter. Samt ved OC viser den også noget bedre ydelse, så jeg tillod mig at give den et lille 4-tal, men det skal så understreges at det er meget tæt på et 3-tal. Dog har det været en fornøjelse at være vidne til ydelsen og hvordan computeren generelt kører.
Pris - 3
For at kunne købe denne Phenom X4 9950 BE, så skal der slipper's godt 1200kr. - hvilket kun er omkring 70,- kr. mere end for den gamle 9850. Så hvis du står med tanken om at købe ny AMD maskine, og du havde valgt en 9850, så tænk dig om en ekstra gang. Det er små 70.- kr. ekstra du skal give for at få 100MHz ekstra, samt muligheden for at få den ekstra ydelse. Så hvis valget stod mellem 9850 og 9950, så vil jeg klart anbefale 9950. Den har lidt mere ydelse, samt kan man prale med at have den nyeste AMD processor.
UK summary
It has been a pleasure to have this new Phenom X4 9950 "BE" for testing to see how well it performs. There is more performace to gain with the few extra MHz in this 9950 versus the old 9850. There is also more overclocking potential in this model, which is good because the performance increases a fair amount with the few extra MHz you can squeeze out of the CPU, although there is still a long way before Phenom reaches the glory of the old days when you could overclock your AMD all the way to **** and back. It is however, good to see that changes has been made since the first Phenom hit the market.
Innovation/Technology - 4
The Phenom series has come a long way since the first model saw the light of day. The TBL bug has been fixed, and new and better steppings has been added to increase the overclocking capabilities aswell. So, alot has happened alot, but there is still some way to go before we see the same overclocking capabilities as in the old days. But AMD is on the right path, which is very good.
Bundle/Accessories - 3
It's a standard bundle and there isn't much to comment here. It doesn't include any games or any other cool gadgets.
Performance - 4
I've been thinking about which score it should get for it's performance. Therefore it has to be mentioned that it's on the verge to get a 3, but I thought I could give it a 4 due to the performance being better than the 9850 in most of the tests. With a bit of overclocking it also shows better performance, so i'll grant it a 4 but still on the verge of getting only 3 points. It has been a pleasure to witness the performance and seeing how it runs in general.
Price - 3
If you want to buy this Phenom X4 9950 BE it can be purchased for around 1200 DKK, which is about 70 DKK more than the old 9850. So if you fiddle with the thought of buying a new AMD machine and you're considering the 9850, you should really think again and think of the Phenom 9950 for just 70 DKK more. For the 70DKK you get 100MHz extra performance. If I had to choose between the 9850 and the 9950, I would definitely pick 9950 and I will recommend it. It has a bit more performance, and along with it you can brag about having the newest AMD CPU.
