During Computex this year, AMD announced not only its most complex CPU to date — the six-core Istanbul — but also some cheap and cheerful additions to its value, dual-core lineup. Enter the next generation Athlon — the Athlon II. Or, perhaps the Athlon XI or something, since we’ve had slot, socket, K7, K8, K10 and now K10.5 Athlons. The «II» (two) branding is meant to keep things in stroke with the Phenom IIs and the latest 45nm, K10.5 cores.
What makes these Athlons and not Phenoms though is the complete lack of L3 cache — only a traditional 128KB of combined L1 and 1MB of uniform L2, per core, to keep the data in. Since these caches are exclusive of one-another, there’s no anti-snoop filter that the L3 cache would naturally provide, so cross core traffic and memory nosing is increased, making things respectively slower.
The offset of which is a set of whacking great big core clocks at a full fat 3.0GHz, with the integrated memory clock running at 2.0GHz, the latest HyperTransport 3.
0 specification (4.0GT/s or 2.0GHz). This new CPU plugs into the latest Socket AM3, but it only supports memory speeds of DDR2-800 and DDR3-1066.
The other limitation of the Athlon IIs is that there will be no Black Editions with unlocked CPU multipliers. This means that overclocking has to be achieved the old school, and harder way of increasing the HT clock, while simultaneously balancing total HT clock and other things it affects like memory clocks as well. Fun, fun, fun!

Although Socket AM2+ has been around for several years now, we reckon many readers will still be running a dual-core Athlon X2 as the first generation Phenom CPUs were so disappointing. The big question therefore is whether the Athlon II X2 250 is a worthwhile upgrade from one of these older CPUs or one of the more recent cut-price CPUs such as the Phenom X2 7750 Black Edition.
However, the Athlon II X2 250 is much more flexible than its predecessors because it’s compatible with both Socket AM2+ and Socket AM3 motherboards. This is great news for such a low price CPU as cheap good-quality Socket AM3 motherboards have finally begun to appear in the last few weeks. The only downside in this equation is DDR3 which, while coming down in price all the time, is currently still a little more expensive than DDR2.
Still, given how much better Socket AM3 motherboards overclock than their Socket AM2+ predecessors – it’s well worth thinking about using the Athlon II X2 250 with a Socket AM3 motherboard.
At £62, the Athlon II X2 250 is nearly £11 more expensive than the very popular Pentium Dual Core E5200 we’ve been recommending in our buyer’s guide for many months. The question is; does the higher frequency, DDR3 support and smaller manufacturing process of the Athlon II X2 250 yield greater or comparable overclockability to the E5200, and what is their respective performance for the pound?
Has AMD produced a better bargain processor than the E5200 or is Intel’s little cheap screamer still the best budget CPU?

AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 Processor Review
|
|||||||||||||||
0GHz mainstream dual-core chip based on the Phenom ‘Deneb’ architecture, but crucially stripped of all L3 cache.
Let’s take a little trip
back in time to 1999. Netops were just a twinkle in the eye of
budding young Webpad designers, and AMD CPUs were packaged
in slot A cartridges. Intel had just launched the Pentium
III for a chipset called the 440BX and gamers
around the world were eagerly looking forward to Duke Nukem Forever.
A company called Advanced Micro Devices was introducing a processor
to challenge to the PIII, called the AMD Athlon…
Now fast forward ten years and the only similarity between
the original Athlon and the Athlon II processor launched at Computex 2009 Taipei, is in the name. Enter the socket AM3, AMD Athlon II X2
250 microprocessor — a new 3.0GHz
mainstream dual-core chip based on the Phenom ‘Deneb’ architecture, but
crucially stripped of all L3 cache.
In this course of this review PCSTATS will run AMD’s Athlon II X2 250 through
a full compliment of CPU benchmarks and face it off against several Intel Core 2
Duo CPUs, the Core i7 920 and dual/triple/quad-core AMD Phenom II processors. If you want to find out just how much processing power is available in an inexpensive dual-core Athlon II CPU, you’ve come to the right place!
Like all the
chips emerging from AMD’s stables this year,
the Athlon II X2 250 is manufactured on the 45nm SOI process at Global Foundries
Fab-1 in Germany.
The chip has a modest 65W TDP, and looking over
specs we find a transistor count of 234 Million, 256KB of L1 and 2MB of L2 cache. Of course, the Athlon II has no L3 cache. It’s socket AM3 format ensures backwards compatibility with AM2+ motherboards, and support for DDR2-800 or DDR3-1066 system memory as required.
Best of all, the Athlon II X2 250 retails for just $87! Given
AMD’s popular 690G/780G/790G integrated motherboards with HD friendly HDMI outputs, I wouldn’t be unexpected to find the Athlon II rapidly find
its place in Home Theatre PCs.
Now before we go any further, can the AMD Athlon II X2 250 processor be used to upgrade an
older PC system currently powered by a socket AM2 Athlon 64 X2 or
Sempron CPU?
|
|||||||||
0GHzLikely
no. AMD’s Athlon II family is built for Socket AM3 and Socket AM2+ motherboards. While the Athlon II
has dual memory controllers, so it can work with DDR2 and DDR3 system memory, the majority
of socket AM2 motherboards don’t offer 45nm CPU compatibility. Check the board manual and manufacturer’s website for
a BIOS update to be sure.
Getting back to the Athlon II… AMD’s
Athlon II X2 250 is compliant with Hypertransport 3.0, operating at 2.0GHz: data
is sent twice per clock cycle (DDR) so the final duplexed speed of HT3 is
4.0GHz. This is sent along a 16-bit/16-bit link, which translates to 16GB/s of
bus bandwidth between the CPU and the chipset.
With the impending launch of Microsoft Windows 7
operating system, AMD has gone to great lengths to ensure its
new Athlon II X2 250 processors and the rest of the Phenom II CPU
line have full support for Windows 7. Especially Win7’s new ‘XP virtualization’ feature.
The
Athlon II X2 250 processor supports full hardware virtualization, allowing a
single core to run a copy of Windows XP inside of Windows 7. Neat, yes.
Practical when it comes to legacy software that won’t run
in Windows 7. The Athlon II is also the first CPU to move
C1E low power states out of the BIOS and onto the CPU.
As the AMD Athlon II X2
250 is priced at a mere $96 CDN ($87 USD, £55 GBP)
and is compatible with the majority of AMD motherboards on the
market, chances are you’ll be seeing a lot of it. A cheap 3.0GHz dual-core
processor is ideal for OEM system builders and mainstream computers. If its predecessors
have been any example, it’ll likely be an excellent overclocker too.
But don’t worry, I’m not going to leave you hanging. 🙂 PCSTATS will show you the real performance of the AMD Athlon II X2 250
processor, add in overclocking results and explain how it all fits
together.
The Athlon II — Phenom without L3 Cache
Inside the AMD
Athlon II processor is an architecture largely based on AMD’s Phenom II ‘Deneb’,
but optimized for dual-core processing. Instead of a large 6MB L3
cache that’s shared between four cores, AMD has stripped out the L3 altogether
and implemented a more sensible 2MB of L2 cache. Like the Phenom II, the
L2 cache is split into a single megabyte of per core.
Sticking to a smaller cache size reduces overall
cache latency, while increasing the size of a cache means greater hit rates, which reduce
the amount of trips needed to fetch information from system memory. Having a
large cache makes sense for quad-core processors, but for a dual-core processor like
the Athlon II it would most likely be under utilized.
Large caches also makes the
CPU’s silicon die larger, which increases the amount of power consumed and
heat produced.
AMD has
kept the size of the Athlon II processor small, about 117.5mm2. This is in
part due to smaller cache sizes, but also thanks to moving to a 45nm
manufacturing process. This makes the Athlon II X2 250 one of the smallest processors
AMD has ever produced.

7This also means the Athlon II X2 250 costs a
lot less for AMD to produce, and AMD’s pricing strategy passes on the majority
of those savings on to the consumer.
The majority of AMD’s processors fall
into the $50-100 price range, and the new Athlon II X2 250 is right at the top
of that list, which will in turn drop AMD’s overall CPU prices even
further.
The power meter is hooked up and ready to measure, so
let’s take a look at how much juice a PC system built with AMD’s 45nm AMD Athlon II X2 250
CPU actually draws.

AMD Athlon II X2 250 PCSTATS Review
|
|||||||||||||||
0GHz mainstream dual-core chip based on the Phenom ‘Deneb’ architecture, but crucially stripped of all L3 cache.
AMD’s latest Athlon II CPUs are built on a 45nm manufacturing process.
It will be interesting to see if this, and re-architecting of the Athlon
II’s microprocessor reduce power draw significantly compared to Intel’s CPUs.
As always, before any power measurements are taken the
CPU power saving and clock speed throttling technologies like Cool ‘n’ Quiet,
EIST (speedstep) and C1E power states are disabled. PCSTATS then set about
stressing each core of the processor one by one, until all cores were loaded.
For this we used Stress
Prime (SP2004). The total system power
consumption, measured in Watts, is monitored with an Extech Power Analyzer
Datalogger (model 380803). The power meter is located between the main 120AC
supply and the PC’s power supply so it measures the entire computer system, the
difference between CPU loaded and unloaded states is the key value to pay
attention to.
| Total System Idle Power Draw |

Total idle system power draw for the Athlon II X2 250 test system is 128W, which is the lowest power
consumption we’ve seen from an AMD processor for quite some time.
Moving down
to 45nm has definitely helped keep the Athlon II’s typical power consumption
low (65W).

The two cores of the Athlon II X2 250
were next stressed and the total system power draw measured at
single and dual-core CPU loads.
Under load the Athlon II PC test system was
significantly more efficient than AMD’s previous dual-core chips, although some
of Intel’s Core 2 Duo processors are still more wattage friendly.
Overclocking: Will 45nm improve this chip’s
potential?
| Overclocking Results: | ||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||
The 3.
0GHz Socket AM3 45nm AMD Athlon II X2 processor is
based on an architecture with a long and proud overclocking heritage, and
usually when a processor architecture goes through a die shrink, overclocking
potential increases. It’ll be interesting to see how this 45nm Athlon II X2 CPU
handles being pushed to the limit.
Before the overclocking tests got underway, a set
of Corsair XMS3-1600C9 memory was first set to run at DDR3-800 MHz mode,
this way it will not hold the CPU back. Keeping the 15x CPU clock multiplier,
the Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard saw its bus speed increased
slowly from 200MHz on up.
Overclocking in 10 MHz increments, the AMD Athlon II X2
250 processor was slowly pushed to 210 MHz… 220… 240… and 250MHz before
the system began experiencing any signs of instability. At that point the
processor voltage had to be increased +0.1V, the CPU NB to +0.1V and memory
+0.25V to stabilize the system.
The AMD Athlon II X2
250 maxed at a motherboard clock speed of 250 MHz (or 3.
75 GHz), anything higher
and the system was just too unstable to run.
In the end, PCSTATS was able to squeeze a 750MHz
overclock out of the new 65W, 45nm process technology AMD Athlon II X2
processor. Not bad at all for a chip that costs less than $90!
Now for the bit you’ve been really looking forward to.
The Athlon II X2 250 is strapped into the test bench, and we’ve got a full suite
of benchmarks waiting to see how well AMD’s new processor line holds up.

AMD Athlon II X2 250 Processor Review | Introduction | CPU & Mainboard
Introduction
In June of this year, AMD launched it’s budget/mainstream line of processors named Athlon II. Asleep already? If so, I urge you to try and tune in once more as it is a rather important product family.
As the name may suggest, no it certainly won’t set the world on fire with it’s performance but who would it expect it to do so? The main criteria of a successful mainstream processor is to offer a very high level of performance given it’s retail price. Whether you’re someone who is looking to buy a budget system prebuilt from a high street retailer or whether you’re a DIY Systems Builder who simply has to build to a budget, these releases are very important indeed. This combined with AMD’s typically lower ownership costs as well as the decline of DDR3 pricing could make for some rather interesting results. Let’s take a closer look at the Athlon II X2 250 processor
| Processor | AMD Athlon II X2 250 | AMD Phenom II X2 550BE | AMD Phenom II X4 955BE |
| Core | Regor |
Callisto (Crippled Deneb Quad) |

| Clock Speed | 3000MHz | 3100MHz | 3200MHz |
| L2 Cache | 2 x 1024kB | 2 x 512kB | 4 x 512kB |
| L3 Cache | n/a | 6144kB | 6144kB |
| Price / £ | £55 | £75 | £145 |
The AMD Athlon II X2 250, is currently the fastest processor of it’s product family.
As you may have observed, the Athlon II sports a new core. While it has many similarities with the AMD Phenom II «Deneb» core, it has absolutely no Level 3 cache but instead has two dedicated banks of 1024kB Level 2 cache, an increase from the 512kB per core found on Phenom II. While the loss of so much Level 3 cache would surely hamper the processor’s performance in certain applications, the increase in Level 2 cache does compensate somewhat. The main advantage of this arrangement means that the size of the core has decreased, making it cheaper to produce and also allows the processor to sit in the lower 65W TDP envelope. The only other advantage is from AMD’s point of view, in that they don’t have to speed bin and cripple perfectly good Deneb Quad Cores in order to meet a quota of lower end stock. Speaking of price, this 3.00GHz unit weighs in at just £55. On paper, this sounds like a fairly reasonable proposition but with this comes our testing theory…
It’s all well and good that this processor is designed to be a somewhat no frills, cheap and cheerful unit compared to it’s more powerful siblings.
But how close does this processor get to popular, proven but more expensive units such as…let’s say the Core 2 Duo E8400? This could be argued as a rather unfair test and I’m sure that some of you might well be raising an eyebrow about now. Nothing is impossible however and even though this particular processor may resemble an AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor due to it’s lack of Level 3 Cache, one would be tempted to say that it’d be a rather interesting battle. Interesting it shall be and on that bomb shell I shall say no more until our testbeds are spooled up and ready to go!

Overclocking
Overclocking the AMD Athlon II is not particularly difficult but there is more to think about when compared to the equivalent Core 2 Duo setup. Overclocking a Core 2 Duo would usually involve reducing the initial memory speed and simply ramping up the Front Side Bus speed until it can’t take anymore, at which point you may consider voltage increases to push further. On the AMD Phenom II platform, we have a Hypertransport Base Frequency, which acts as the variable that you raise to overclock. Then we have a multiplier that derives the overall Hypertransport Link Speed, which you may need to regulate in order to reach a higher clock speed. Then finally, we also have a multiplier that derives a Northbridge Frequency, something that you want as high as possible to get the most out of your processor.
Unlike AMD’s «Black Edition» CPU’s, standard processors such as the Athlon II have CPU Multipliers (the multiplier that derives the overall core frequencies) that are only unlocked downwards but not upwards. The implication of this is that there is a larger dependence on the motherboard to reach a higher Hypertransport Base Frequency.
Our particular AMD Athlon II had a default core voltage of 1.3500V. AMD K10’s are particularly fond of lower temperatures and thanks to a simpler core (relative to the Phenom II) low temperatures were indeed what we were gifted with.
With the default voltage of 1.3500V, our X2 250 processor sailed to 3.60GHz with a HTT Link Speed of 1920MHz (8x base) and a Northbridge Frequency of 2160MHz (9x base). With load temperatures hovering in the late 30’s, we certainly weren’t finished.
After a bit of tweaking and testing, we found the sweet spot of this processor at a rather frisky 3.90GHz with a HTT Link Speed of 1820MHz (7x base) and a Northbridge Frequency of 2600MHz (10x base), retaining the memory’s clockspeed at around 1333MHz with 7-7-7-20 timings.
This required 1.5250V for 24/7 stable operation and the load temperatures peaked at no higher than 47c with our modest Arctic Freezer 64 Pro Heatsink.
So how well will AMD’s £55 wonder stack up against the mighty Core 2 Duo E8400? Let’s find out.

Reviews about the Athlon II X2,2222 overclocking this processor gave 300 MHz. That is, it was 3000 — it became 3300.
Here is what Everest gives out: CPU type DualCore AMD Athlon II X2 250, 3300 MHz (15 x 220)
I hope everything will be ok. It’s just that I never get hot. At 100% load in The Witcher 3 it has a maximum temperature of 35 degrees.
Now it will probably be over forty. Pozyry.
The two-core aflon itself is obsolete.
But yes, it’s impossible to play normally on two cores with two threads now. In my opinion, the minimum for games is the Xeon E5450 or Q9650 (overclocked to 3.5). You can put both 460 and the same 750 under it (Or 7850 — 7870). You can try to get this processor, an interesting test will turn out)

New AMD Dual Core Phenom II X2 550 and Athlon II X2 250 / Processors and Memory
With the development of the 45 nm process technology, AMD began to systematically update the entire line of desktop processors.
We have already seen three- and four-core models, and now it’s the turn for dual-core CPUs. Today we will consider two new products, each of which contains two cores, but they belong to different families — Athlon II and Phenom II. The main characteristics of the new products are shown in the table below.
| Model | Athlon II X2 250 | Phenom II X2 550 BE |
| Frequency | 3.0 GHz | 3.1 GHz |
| L2 cache | 2 x 1 MB | 2 x 512 KB |
| L3 cache | — | 6 Mb |
| HT | 2.0 GHz | 2.0 GHz |
| Bldg. | AM3 | AM3 |
| V core | 0. 875-1.425 V |
0.875-1.425 V |
| TDP | 65 W | 80W |
| Temp, max | 74°C | 70°C |
| Memory | DDR2-800 / DDR3-1066 | DDR2-1066 / DDR3-1333 |
As can be seen from the table, the clock frequency of new products is equal to or exceeds 3 GHz. The new Athlon has 1 MB L2 cache per core, but lacks the 6 MB L3 cache found in the dual-core Phenom. Obviously, the AMD Phenom II X2 550 is based on a core common to all processors of the Phenom II family, but two cores are disabled. Note that this model has a Black Edition suffix, that is, an unlocked multiplier, and allows you to increase the core frequency without changing other operating parameters. The rest of the novelties are very similar — the same HyperTransport frequency equal to 2 GHz, support for Socket AM3/AM2+, acceptable voltage range and close maximum allowable temperatures.
Officially, the Athlon II X2 250 supports DDR2-800 / DDR3-1066 memory, but as it turned out, it is able to work with RAM in higher speed modes. Of course, the thermal package of the dual-core Phenom is somewhat higher than that of the Athlon, due to the presence of the third level cache. Now let’s take a closer look at each processor.
Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition
The copy of the processor that fell into our hands was released in early April 2009. Outwardly, it is no different from other brothers intended for use in Socket AM3 systems.
As mentioned above, this processor uses the HyperTransport bus with a frequency of 2.0 GHz. This is the default value set by the motherboard. The Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition has 128 KB L1 cache and 512 KB L2 cache per core. The cache memory of the third level is shared, and its volume is 6 MB.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have an ASUS M4A79 T Deluxe motherboard supporting AM3, so we’ll use its «twin» with Socket AM2+ support.
After updating the BIOS, the motherboard accepted the new processor as «native».
We used two Corsair DDR2-1066 memory modules, each with a capacity of 1 GB.
By default, the motherboard sets the RAM as DDR2-800, according to the JEDEC specifications. After the «manual» setting to DDR2-1066 mode, there were no problems and the system worked stably.
Athlon II X2 250
The appearance of the Athlon II X2 250 also does not differ from other AM3 processors, except for the markings.
Of course, the characteristics of the processor correspond to the declared ones, and the default settings are exactly the same.
As in the previous case, there were no problems with setting the RAM mode as DDR2-1066, as well as with stability. Although Athlon II X2 250 does not officially support this mode.
Let’s see how the newcomers are doing with overclocking.
Acceleration
As you know, under certain conditions, Phenom X3 processors allow you to unlock a disabled core. Unfortunately, our Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition did not have such pleasant surprises. Manipulations with the Advanced Clock Calibration parameter in the BIOS of the motherboard did not lead to anything. But this does not mean that this topic is «closed», perhaps it is worth waiting for new BIOS versions. After all, it is known that AMD indirectly encourages such unlocking, although it is not certain that the company’s favor will extend to dual-core Phenom processors.
After a series of experiments, the Phenom II X2 550 was overclocked to 3.8 GHz. To do this, we had to increase the Vcore voltage to the level of 1.45 V. Note that the processor worked at this frequency even at a lower voltage, but we decided not to limit ourselves to overclocking only the cores.
The fact is that this motherboard allows setting the north bridge frequency (NB Frequency) up to 6000 MHz (by default — 2000 MHz). We pay so much attention to this issue because the shared L3 cache in Phenom II processors runs at the NB Frequency, and not at the CPU frequency. At the same time, the frequency of 2600 MHz is achieved relatively easily, but at the cost of system stability. To achieve stability, it was necessary to increase the voltage on the north bridge — NB Voltage, to a level of 1.4 V (normally — 1.1 V). We also increased the frequency of the HyperTransport bus to 2600 MHz, as seen in the screenshot above.
This screenshot shows that the frequency of the north bridge (NB Frequency) is indeed increased to 2600 MHz, while the operating mode of the RAM has not changed.
With the overclocking of the Athlon II X2 250, everything turned out to be both easier and more difficult. On the one hand, it does not have a third-level cache, and there is no need to select a stable mode for its operation during overclocking. On the other hand, the CPU multiplier is locked upwards and overclocking is possible only by increasing the system bus frequency. Motherboard ASUS M4A79Deluxe works stably at 280 MHz bus frequency and even higher. But we decided to use a lower frequency, at which, after reducing the corresponding multipliers, the rest of the parameters are near the default values. You can see the result in the screenshots below.
Let’s note one strange fact that we encountered while overclocking the Athlon II X2 250. It turned out that it was impossible to change the VCore voltage for this processor. No changes in the BIOS and even setting the OV_CPU jumpers on the board (increased voltage on the processor) did not affect the VCore value at all. Perhaps these are the features of the processor copy that we got.
Nevertheless, we managed to reach a frequency of 3.8 GHz, although there is no need to talk about absolute stability. We decided to test in this mode anyway, because it’s interesting to see how close it can get to the results of the Phenom II X2 550 without L3 cache.
Testing
In addition to the specified AMD processors and the motherboard, the tests used the Radeon HD4870X2 video card and Corsair DDR2-1066, 2 x 1 Gb RAM. AMD positions the Phenom II X2 550 and Athlon II X2 250 as competitors for the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 and Pentium Dual-Core E5400, respectively. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, we did not have these processors. However, Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 and Pentium Dual-Core E5300 were on hand. We have displayed their results in diagrams. At the same time, the Pentium Dual-Core E5300 processor was overclocked by increasing the system bus frequency from 200 to 266 MHz. At the same time, the frequency of the RAM was also increased from DDR2-800 to DDR2-1066.
In the diagrams, the results of Intel processors are highlighted in blue, lighter shades correspond to the Pentium Dual-Core E5300. AMD Phenom II X2 550 results are highlighted in green. The indicators of the Athlon II X2 250 processor are indicated in orange. In both cases, the lighter shade matches the overclocked results. So, let’s see how the novelties will manifest themselves.
The built-in memory controller in AMD processors shows excellent efficiency, so it is not surprising that they are ahead. Interestingly, in this test, the «lower» Athlon II X2 250 processor shows a slightly higher result than the Phenom II X2 550. However, increasing the frequency of the Phenom II X2 550 north bridge makes it the undisputed leader among the test participants. The Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 naturally occupies the last place, since the main limitation is the low system bus frequency of this processor. Overclocking the bus (and, accordingly, the memory to DDR2-1066) allows it to noticeably improve and compare with the performance of Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800, but they still fall short of the results of AMD processors.
In this test, the alignment of forces is generally preserved, except that the difference in speed comes out noticeably more strongly. Once again, the Athlon II X2 250 is slightly ahead of the Phenom II X2 550 in stock modes. But increasing the frequency of the Phenom II X2 550 northbridge drastically changes the situation even without overclocking the frequency of the CPU itself.
However, in the copy-to-memory test, the results of the Athlon II X2 250 no longer surpass those of the Phenom II X2 550, and the AMD processor line is lined up according to the rankings.
The latency of RAM when using the controller built into the processor is predictably noticeably lower. At the same time, the Athlon II X2 250 again shows a slightly better result than the Phenom II X2 550.
And here are the first surprises. In normal modes, the Athlon II X2 250 and Phenom II X2 550 overtake the Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300, but are inferior to the Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800, despite the higher clock speed. Acceleration provides a good increase in the results of all participants. However, the Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 is ahead, although its overclocking frequency is lower than that of AMD representatives.
In the PhotoWorxx test, both the processing power of the processor and the speed of working with RAM are important. As you can see, in this case, AMD processors show their best side. The increase in the Phenom II X2 550 results is especially noticeable with an increase in the frequency of the north bridge (and, consequently, the L3 cache). Overclocking processors does not change the overall alignment of forces.
We see a similar picture in the CPU Zlib test, in which efficient work with RAM is also important.
With integer calculations, the new AMD processors are doing well, as well as the Intel processors, given the difference in frequencies.
However, single-precision (32-bit) floating point calculations are better on Intel processors. At the same time, they remain inaccessible even for overclocked AMD processors.
In double-precision (64-bit) floating point calculations, AMD processors feel much more confident. However, when overclocked, they are still ahead of the Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300, whose frequency is lower.
This test, which uses extended precision (80-bit) calculations, demonstrates the same balance of power as the previous benchmark.
The built-in benchmark of the WinRar archiver shows a rather harmonious picture. The results were pretty predictable. However, the Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 is far out of the line, and only overclocking the AMD Phenom II X2 550 together with an increase in the northbridge frequency (L3 cache frequency) allows it to break into the lead.
Cinebench 10 clearly favors Intel processors, but newcomers from AMD look pretty good too.
A similar picture is observed in the processor test 3DMark Vantage.
However, opinions are divided here. The first AI rendering test favors Intel processors.
But in the «physics» calculation test, AMD processors feel better.
This benchmark shows the execution time of a batch file with image conversion commands in the Paint.Net application. As you can see, this round is left entirely to Intel processors. And even overclocking AMD processors cannot change this.
Now let’s see how our participants perform in the built-in CPU test of the popular game Crysis. To minimize the influence of the video card, we used a screen resolution of 1024×768 pixels. Driver settings were default. All four available graphics quality modes — Low, Medium, High and VeryHigh — were used to evaluate performance. The fact is that with an increase in the «severity» of the graphics mode, the load increases not only on the video card, but also on the central processor. This is due to the increase in the number of objects in the scene, their destructibility and the need to calculate their movement.
At stock frequencies, the Athlon II X2 250 and Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 show close results, and the Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 confidently outperforms the Phenom II X2 550. In this mode, increasing the L3 cache frequency of the Phenom II X2 550 has the same effect. , which is overclocking to a frequency of 3.8 GHz. Of course, together they give a more noticeable effect, but this is only enough to compare with the overclocked Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300.
With Medium graphics quality settings, the overall placement is preserved, although the difference in results becomes somewhat smaller (in percentage terms).
In the heavier mode at stock frequencies, the Athlon II X2 250 outperforms the Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300, but, as before, it lags behind when overclocked. As for the AMD Phenom II X2 550, the effect of increasing the frequency of the L3 cache becomes more noticeable — over 10%. And in combination with an increase in the frequency of the CPU, the increase in results is already about 25%.
In the heaviest mode, new products from AMD feel more confident. The Athlon II X2 250 outperforms the Pentium Dual-Core E5300 at stock frequencies and when overclocked. And the Phenom II X2 550 at stock frequencies lags behind the Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800. Increasing the frequency of the processor and L3 cache improves the performance of the Phenom II X2 550, but the overclocking effect is somewhat less than expected.
Terminals
The new AMD processors, in our opinion, turned out to be quite successful and definitely deserve attention. Their strengths are thin process technology, low power consumption, good overclocking potential. But what is most important for the average user is compatibility with the Socket AM2+ platform. That is, it is enough to update the BIOS of the motherboard and you can install a new processor, thereby extending the life of the old platform, which is very important in the context of the general economic crisis. In terms of pricing, the AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition is expected to retail for $102 and the Athlon II X2 250 for $87. As you can see, they practically coincide with retail prices for Intel core 2 Duo E6300 and Pentium Dual-Core E5400 processors, which are their direct competitors, respectively.

AMD Athlon II X2 250 (2013 D.RI) Performance in games and similar applications, according to our tests.
The performance of 4 cores, if any, and performance per core has the greatest impact on the result, since most games do not fully use more than 4 cores.
The speed of caches and working with RAM is also important.
Speed in office use
Performance in everyday work such as browsers and office applications.
The performance of 1 core has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications use only one, ignoring the rest.
Similarly, many professional applications such as various CADs ignore multi-threaded performance.
Speed in heavy applications
Performance in resource-intensive tasks loading a maximum of 8 cores.
The performance of all cores and their number have the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications willingly use all the cores and increase the speed accordingly.
At the same time, certain periods of work can be demanding on the performance of one or two cores, for example, applying filters in the editor.
Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems with and without overclocking. Thus, you see the average values corresponding to the processor.

Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with few fast cores and low memory latency will be fine for the vast majority of games, but will be inferior to a system with a lot of slow cores in a rendering scenario.
We believe that a minimum of 4/4 (4 physical cores and 4 threads) processor is suitable for a budget gaming PC. At the same time, some games can load it at 100%, slow down and freeze, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a drop in FPS.
Ideally, the budget shopper should aim for a minimum of 4/8 and 6/6. A gamer with a big budget can choose between 6/12, 8/8 and 8/16. Processors with 10 and 12 cores can perform well in games with high frequency and fast memory, but are overkill for such tasks. Also, buying for the future is a dubious undertaking, since in a few years many slow cores may not provide sufficient gaming performance.
When choosing a processor for your work, consider how many cores your programs use. For example, photo and video editors can use 1-2 cores when working with filtering, and rendering or converting in the same editors already uses all threads.
Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems both with overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum). A typical result is shown in the middle, the fuller the color bar, the better the average result among all tested systems.
