Phenom 9850 @ 3.0GHz 4028    Phenom 9850 @ 2.5GHz 3463    Phenom 9850 @ 2.3GHz 3202    Phenom 9600 @ 2.3GHz 3052      0 10 00 20 00 30 00 40 00 50 00

U ovom sintetskom testu koji zna baratati sa više jezgri je vidljivo kako je 9850 definitivno donio poboljšanje performansi u odnosu na 9600 model. Overclocking donosi solidan napredak u 3DMark bodovima od preko 500 bodova.

U ovom testu je razlika između 9850 i 9600 procesora na istom taktu malena. No ukupnu bitku gubi zbog slabih memorijskih performansi. Overclocking ponovno donosi velike pomake u performansama, kako u snazi CPU-a, tako i u brzini memorije.

U Everestu se najbolje vidi koliko 9600 procesor ima slabe memorijske perormanse. 9850 tu definitivno vraća stvari na svoje mjesto i pokazuje sve prednosti integriranog memorijskog kontrolera. U CPU testovima najbolje vidimo koliko se overclocking isplati jer je porast performansi vrlo velik (osim u slučaju jednog testa).
