When measuring retentiveness bandwidth functioning with SiSoftware Sandra 2022 nosotros run into that the Phenom Two X6 processors are much like their quad-core parts. The bandwidth of the Phenom II X6 1090T reached 13.6GB/s, which is well-nigh 3GB/s less than the Core i5 750 processor.

The EVEREST Ultimate Edition memory bandwidth results resemble those previously seen on Sandra. The Phenom II X6 processors perform alike the X4 965 delivering roughly eight.8GB/s read performance and 6.8GB/due south write performance. Both the read and write results were considerably lower when compared to the Core i5 and Core i7 processors.

The L2 enshroud performance has been measured using EVEREST Ultimate Edition and as you lot can run across the read performance of the Phenom II X6 processors is comparable to the Core i5 750. However, the write performance is considerably higher on the Core i5 750 while the Core i7 processors enjoy an fifty-fifty greater advantage.
