 | Below are comparison charts, telling how the AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE (C3) stands against other x86 CPUs in single-threaded tasks. The difference in performance between Phenom II X2 555 BE (C3) and each of the listed microprocessors was calculated as an average of differences in 7 single-threaded benchmarks from our benchmark database. The list of test applications and programs consists of CINEBENCH R10 or R15 1 core tests, Super PI, wPrime using 1 core, and single-process versions of FLAC encoding, LAME MP3 encoding, H.264, and XVid video encoding programs. Please note that these benchmarks use only one core, for this reason they do not depend on such processor characteristics as the number of cores and Hyper-Threading. |
Single-threaded performance of AMD Phenom II X2 CPUs for Socket AM2+ / Socket AM3
This chart shows how well the 555 BE (C3) performs compared to other CPUs from Phenom II X2 family. Major specifications differences between microprocessors are displayed in the "Specs" column. Because the tests run on a single core, the "Specs" column does not include the number of cores, or Hyper-Threading support.
