AMD's New Athlon/Semprons Give Old Phenom CPUs A Big Run For The Money
With the LAMMPS molecular dynamics workload, the Phenom 9500 was coming in just between the Athlon 5150 and Athlon 5350.
The Phenom II X3 710 from five years ago can still hold its ground in many computational tests compared to the new budget APUs. Of course, comparing the Phenom II X3 710 to the FX-8350 or even the higher-end Kaveri APUs would tell a very different story.
