Good evening,

Tonight Neoseeker takes a look at the new core-light AMD Phenom II X2 550
Black Edition processor:

"Looking at the scores, the 3.1GHz Phenom II X2 550 is pretty much equal to
the 3GHz E8400. Our subject won 3 real-world gaming tests out of 5, but for
the other benchmarks it lost seven out of the remaining twelve. So really,
if it is inferior to the E8400, I would say it is by a tiny bit. The
difference though is that the Phenom II X2 costs $102 whereas the 3GHz Core
2 Duo costs $165"

Thanks for any links,
