AMD Phenom X4 9850 B3 Revision
Cinebench R10 and 3DMark06
Cinebench R10 is an OpenGL 3D rendering performance test based on Cinema 4D. Cinema 4D from Maxon is a 3D rendering and animation tool suite used by 3D animation houses and producers like Sony Animation and many others. It's very demanding of system processor resources and is an excellent gauge of pure computational throughput.

This is a multi-threaded, multi-processor aware benchmark that renders a single 3D scene and tracks the length of the entire process. The time it took each test system to render the entire scene is represented in the graph below, listed in seconds.
Cinebench R10 shows the B3 revision Phenom X4 9850 performing right on par with a similarly clocked B2 revision chip, but just behind the Core 2 Duo Q6600.

3DMark06's built-in CPU test is a multi-threaded DirectX gaming metric that's useful for comparing relative performance between similarly equipped systems. This test consists of two different 3D scenes that are processed with a software renderer that is dependent on the host CPU's performance. Calculations that are normally reserved for your 3D accelerator are instead sent to the CPU for processing and rendering. The frame-rate generated in each test is used to determine the final score.
3DMark06's CPU performance module tells essentially the same story as Cinebench. The Phenom X4 9850 is slightly faster than the similarly clocked B2 revision chip, and just a notch behind the Core 2 Duo Q6600.
