Benchmarks
System setup
AMD Athlon II X3 455 and Intel Core i3-2100 processors were tested using different system
components, that are identified by MB, RAM and VID columns
in the tables below. The numbers in each of these columns correspond
to one of motherboards (MB), memory configurations (RAM) or graphics
adapters (VID), listed below:
MB - Motherboard(s):
1. ASUS P8P67
2. ASROCK M3A780GXH/128M
3. ASUS P8H61-M
RAM - Memory:
1. 2 GB DUAL-CHANNEL CORSAIR TR3X3G1600C9 DDR3
2. 2 GB DUAL-CHANNEL CORSAIR CM3X1024-1333C9 DDR3
VID - Video card(s):
1. MSI R6670 1GB GDDR5 (ATI RADEON)
2. POWERCOLOR 24PRO256M DDR2 (ATI RADEON HD2400)
3. INTEGRATED ON-CHIP INTEL SANDY BRIDGE GRAPHICS
All tests were performed at default frequency and voltage, using manufacturer's stock fan/heatsink. None of the components were overclocked. Motherboard BIOS options were left at default settings.
The results of all benchmarks are broken into four categories: multi-threaded, single-threaded, memory intensive and graphics / gaming.
Athlon II X3 455 vs Intel Core i3-2100 single-threaded benchmarks
Single-threaded benchmarks run on a single CPU core, and do not depend
on such features as the number of cores, or Hyper-Threading
technology. Additionally, they do not utilize on-chip caches,
dedicated to other cores.

Athlon II X3 455 vs Intel Core i3-2100 graphics benchmarks
Graphics benchmarks depend on the type of integrated or discrete
graphics adapter, and to less extent on the processor performance.
Because these benchmarks are synthetic, they may not truly represent
gaming performance. However, they still can be used to estimate whether
one processor will perform faster or slower than another CPU
in games and other 3D tasks.
Important! The processors were tested using different types of graphics adapters, that may not be suitable for comparison.

Athlon II X3 455 vs Intel Core i3-2100 memory performance
Memory-intensive tests or programs move large amounts of data to/from
memory, and they depend more on memory throughput and the size of
on-chip caches, rather than on CPU integer/FP/SIMD performance.

CPUIDs
The table below compares support for x86 extensions and technologies,
as well as individual instructions and low-level features of the AMD Athlon II X3 455
and Intel Core i3-2100 microprocessors. Information in this table was
retrieved from actual processors using CPUID instruction, and we also
utilized internal timer to measure CPU frequency. Be aware that all
technologies, disabled in BIOS or by a virtual machine, will be shown as not
supported.
Different steppings of Intel processors may also have slightly different features.
In rare cases, measured frequency may differ from official specifications.
