Whetstone:

| AMD 980 at 4.01GHz | AMD 980 at 4.3GHz |
Once again another synthetic benchmark to show the Whetstone score of the AMD 980. This benchmark is one that we were able to over clock the processor beyond the 4.01GHz to 4.3GHz and still receive results without the OS crashing. We did push the AMD 980 to 4.53GHz at one point but any benchmark that took longer than one minute resulted in a OS hang or crash. This could probably be fixed with a slight voltage increase of a change in memory timings but we were interested to see how far the 980 would go without playing around with the bios settings too much.
Winrar:

| Winrar at 4.01 GHz |
We ran the winrar benchmark to show the score of the AMD 980 as a processor that still performs in the office area with no problems and if priced right can be deployed to the desktop in an office setting and perform really well. The fact the 980 is a “Black Edition” processor, doesn’t mean it isn’t suitable for an office setting.
3DMark 06

The 3DMark 06 benchmark takes a run through the processor on a single core and multi-core level and gives us an insight into what the processor can handle when is comes to gaming and video processing. The first run through the benchmark was at 4.01 GHz and scored at 16032 3dmarks and with a second run through the benchmark we overclocked the processor to 4.3GHz we see a change of 400 3DMarks. This is interesting to see that a bump of 300Mhz resulted in a 400 score increase.
Wow JUST a speed bump .. and yet it goes approx 1000x as fast as previous proc. You guys are sure hard to please. Quote “which easily breaks the 4k ghz barrier” .. looks like they found the secret sauce for their procs. OMG.
You have very strange results in Cinebench R11.5. Maybe something went wrong in the test. In Windows my Phenom II X4 925@3.4Ghz scores 7.4. Here is my result, which is same
