Abstract: Dealing with current news means that we rarely have the opportunity to review old products and of course a comparison between the most recent products and those that came out several years ago can get a little problematic. But we’ve decided to push th...
Abstract: Of course, let's not forget the Phenom II X2 555, a processor with better gaming and application performance at its default clock rate that can be easily overclocked through multiplier-based overclocking.

Nearly as speedy in most programs as much costlier AMD quad-core CPUs; unlocked for easy overclocking; same architecture and features as quad- and triple-core Phenom II chips
Only a minor speed bump over the Phenom II X2 550; quad-core CPUs offer better performance for video editing and other multithreaded apps
Budget-conscious gamers or general PC users who don’t edit video or use Adobe apps will find the Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition a fine, speedy performer for the price. ...

If you are..
