When measuring memory bandwidth performance with SiSoftware Sandra 2010, the Phenom II X6 processors are much similar their quad-core counterparts. The Phenom II X6 1100T'southward bandwidth reached 14GB/south, which is over 2GB/south less than the Cadre i5 750 processor.

The EVEREST Ultimate Edition memory bandwidth results resemble those previously seen on Sandra. The Phenom II X6 1100T performed much like the X4 965, delivering roughly 9.1GB/s read and 7.1GB/south write performance. Both the read and write results were considerably lower when compared to the Cadre i5 and Core i7 processors.

We measured L2 cache functioning using EVEREST Ultimate Edition and found that the Phenom II X6 1100T processor is comparable to the Cadre i5 750 when looking at reads. However, the write performance is considerably college on the Core i5 750 and the Core i7 processors savour an even greater reward.
