"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,
