"3.1 GHz True Dual-Core Design" marketing slogan doesn't make any sense. Intel no longer make dual-core processors from two core dies.

The box was redesigned, and it is now smaller than boxes of original Phenom II processors. Old boxes had a lot of unused space inside, while the new box has just enough space to fit the CPU, installation instructions and the fan/heatsink.

Athlon II X2 benchmarks

May 03, 2010: A few weeks ago we acquired a lot of Athlon II processors with C3 core revision. Although we posted pictures and individual benchmarks to Athlon II CPU pages, and added the results to our benchmark database more than a week ago, we decided to provide benchmarks in more readable format, i.e. as a review.
