IntroNot too long ago we tested the new C3-stepping version of AMD's highest performance processor - the Phenom 2 X4 965BE. Since then AMD has also updated other models in their product range, and we also reviewed a nice bunch of sample CPUs from the new range. The CPUs included in the package are the Phenom 2 X2 555 BE C3, which is the highest performing dual core from the current range, as well as three CPUs from the Athlon range: X4 635, X3 440 and X2 255. Now lets see how these rank up against each other and of course also the 965 we've seen earlier. |

Looking at the table the difference between the Phenom- and Athlon II series lies in the cache and price. The Phenoms have 6 MB of L3 cache, whereas the Athlons don't have any, this also explains the difference in price.
When it comes to the ever-going Intel vs. AMD battle, the price gap of all the new CPU models is around very affordable $100 mark, where first of all Intel can't really offer much competition, and also which, combined with the inexpensive 785G motherboards makes for a very low system price for the non-gaming folk out there. How about the performance? Well that's exactly what we're going to find out.
