AMD Phenom II x4 975 Black Edition 3.6GHz CPU-Processor

Test Rig:

All of our benchmarks were done at both the stock speed of 3.6GHz and at the overclocked speed of 4GHz.

WinRAR:

The archiving program WinRAR has a built-in benchmarking utility that helps give an idea of the performance that you can expect when using the program.

Here we can see that at the stock speeds, the 975 processes about 1.3 MB/s, while when overclocked it can process an impressive 2.5 MB/s. WinRAR loves using multicore processors to help it compress files. The more cores, the better, as far as it’s concerned.

ScienceMark:

ScienceMark is a program that puts a CPU through its paces by running a set of 7 benchmarks, each measuring a different aspect of real world system performance.

We can see that the processor scored 2206.08, which actually beats the Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition at stock speeds. This is due to the 975 having a faster clock speed at stock settings than the 1100T. ScienceMark is not very multi-threaded. With the chip overclocked to 4GHz, the score is bumped up to an impressive 2421.19.
