Test: AMD Phenom II 905e 2.5 GHz

Konklusion

Vi har desværre ikke mulighed for at efterprøve det reelle strømforbrug på Phenom II X4 905e, men hvis man regner med ca. at spare 1/3-del, er det nok ikke skudt helt ved siden af. Det sparer både miljø og el-regningen for overbelastning. Frekvensen er dog fulgt med nedaf, og de 4 kerner på 2.5 GHz formår ikke at slå sine brødre ydelsesmæssigt, men hvordan ser det ud med prisen?
 

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Der er ikke så meget nyhedsværdi i Phenom II længere, men TDP'en er faldet med lige knap 50% ift. de tidlige modeller. Det syntes vi godt at kunne belønne med  et 4-tal.

Ydelse - 4
Ydelsen så vi i de fleste tilfælde ligge noget bag de andre modeller, hvilket må siges at kunne tilskrives den lavere clock-frekvens Phenom II X4 905e kører med. Reelt set, så kan man sige at en Phenom II er en Phenom II, så længe de er udstyret med samme antal kerner. Skaleringen fik vi bevist ved vores overclock, hvor de opnåede 3.36 GHz lå en smule højere end 955, der jo som standard kører 3.2 GHz.

Pris - 3
Omkring 1250,- DKK skal man slippe for en Phenom II X4 905e. Det er en fair pris taget strømforbruget i betragtning, og så overclocker CPU'en jo i øvrigt rigtig fornuftigt med det rette bundkort, men til det formål er man nok bedre tjent med en X4 810, der tilmed koster en smule mindre.

UK summary

We have unfortunately not been able to verify the real power in phenom II X4 905e, but if you expect an approx. save of one third, it's probably not shot wide of the mark. This saves both the environment and the electricity bill. The frequency is however also brought down and 4 cores at 2.5 GHz does not manage to beat it's brothers performance, but how about price?
 

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
There is not much novelty left in phenom II, but the TDP fell by just under 50% in relation to the early models. 4 points is well deserved in this category.

Ydelse - 4
The performance is in most cases somewhat behind the other models, which can be said to be attributable to the lower clock frequency of the Phenom II X4 905e. One could say, that a Phenom II is an Phenom II, as long as they are equipped with the same number of cores. The scaling when overclocked to 3.36 GHz remained slightly higher than that of the Phenom II X4 955, which is by default running 3.2 GHz.

Pris - 3
Around 1250, - DKK is the pricetag on the Phenom II X4 905e. It's a fair price taking power consumption into account, and then overclocking the CPU is also very reasonable with the right motherboard, but for the purpose one is probably better served by an X4 810, which also costs a bit less.
