Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition CPU Review

Cinebench 11.5

Cinebench 11.5 is based on the 3D software, Cinema 4d. It is very useful to measure the performance gain given by having more than one CPU installed on the system when rendering heavy 3D images. Rendering is one area in which having more than one CPU helps considerably, because usually, rendering software recognizes several CPUs. (Cinebench, for instance, can use up to 16 CPUs.)

Since we were interested in measuring the rendering performance, we ran the test called “Rendering x CPUs,” which renders a “heavy” sample image using all available CPUs (or cores – either real or virtual, as on CPUs with Hyper-Threading technology, each core is recognized as two cores by the operating system) to speed up the process.

On Cinebench, the new Phenom II X6 1100T (3.3 GHz) achieved the same performance level as the Core i7-965 (3.2 GHz) and Phenom II X6 1090T (3.2 GHz). It was 7% faster than the Core i7-870 (2.93 GHz), 9% faster than the Phenom II X6 1075T (3.0 GHz), 42% faster than the Phenom II X4 970 (3.5 GHz), 45% faster than the Phenom II X4 965 (3.4 GHz), and 78% faster than the Core i5-750 (2.66 GHz). It lost only to the Core i7-980X (3.33 GHz), which was 53% faster.
