AMD's Fastest Dual-core - Phenom II X2 555 BE
Results - World in Conflict & Crysis
Results - World in Conflict & Crysis
As one would expect from higher clocked processors, the Phenom II X2 processors were significantly faster in the first game we tested, World in Conflict. Whether it was due to the L3 cache or clock speeds, there was no doubt it was a combination of both that brought about their performance.
It was however not the case in Crysis, where the Intel processors ruled. While the Athlon II X4 CPUs were just about competitive with them, the Phenom II X2 surprised us by falling behind. While this was a CPU test that allowed the quad-cores to shine, we weren't expecting such a difference. Besides, the dual-core E6500 processor from Intel seemed to have no troubles keeping up.
