Zaključak

AMD je konačno napravio procesor koji radi kako treba. Nakon
čitave B2 farse, B3 procesori bi im trebali pomoći u vraćanju poljuljanog
ugleda i izgubljenog tržišta. Naravno preformanse su još daleko od Intelovih
najbržih četverojezgernih procesora, no AMD kupce privlači cijenom. Ovaj procesor
se u Hrvatskoj još ne prodaje no u Sjevernoj Americi ga cijene povoljnih 235
USD (oko 1100kn). Za te se novce iz protovničkog tabora dobije nešto stariji
Q6600 koji ima slične performanse. No, Intel ubacuje i novog borca u ring
– model Q9300, za kojeg se nadamo da će sletjeti u naš lab pa ćemo moći direktno
usporediti performanse. Sve u svemu Phenom X4 9850 BE je dobar procesor, sa
dobrim performansama kojeg se može dobro OC-ati pri čemu performanse poprilično
rastu. Sve je to začinjeno odličnom cijenom i mislimo kako će ga svi fanovi
AMD-a dočekati raširenih ruku. Sada kada su se riješili B2 problema, preostaje
im usavršiti 45nm proces, podići taktove i ozbiljnije zaprijetiti Intelu.

 

Conclusion

AMD has finally made a decent CPU. After everything they went
through with B2 revision, B3 CPU-s should help them regain their rocky reputation
and lost market. Performances are still far away from Intel’s fastest Quad
Core processors but AMD attracts customers with low price. We cannot yet buy
it in Croatia, but the price in USA is 235 USD. For that amount of money you
can buy older Q6600 with similar performance, or you can add some more money
and buy a new Q9300 which costs about 290 USD. We hope to have Q9300 soon
in our lab so we can make a head to head comparison. Everything summed up,
Phenom 9850 BE is a good CPU, with good performance and even better overclocking
capabilities. All that is flavored with a great price, and we think that the
AMD fans will love it. All AMD has to do now is perfect their 45nm process,
raise the clocks some more and get back in the game with Intel.
