Hi there!



We’ve just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it.
Thanks greatly!



“The latest Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition is the first dual-core Phenom II
chip. And it’s great for gaming and multitasking. The 3.1GHz processor
performs very much on par with Intel’s 3GHz dual-core E8400, but costs £50
or so less. Furthermore, for the reduced price you’re getting an unlocked
processor to play with. The downside is that power consumption is a tad high
for a dual-core processor. On the flipside a complete AMD-based system is
much more energy efficient than an Intel-based rig. The Phenom II X2 550
Black Edition is an awesome budget processor for enthusiasts - if only it
could roll over the 4GHz barrier! It’s not the most powerful at running
heavy workloads - that’s what quad cores are for - but for general computing
duties and gaming it’s an outstanding buy.”
