The dispute is not about PII and Athlon II.
The dispute is about Athlon II X3 and Phenom II X2 specifically.
They were not random tests, I only selected the gaming tests because the conversation shifted towards gaming. If we are talking about work related tasks the both the Athlon II X3 and X4 will beat the Phenom II X2 by a land slide, look at the encoding, productivity, rendering and synthetic benchmarks and you'll see that the extra cores do better.
What will that prove? the argument isnt about "clock for clock" the argument is about 2 cores vs 3 cores or 2 cores vs 4 cores.
TONYSALEM, at @ if you are playing Battle Field the Athlon II X4 is better, there are reviews that show that Battlefield Bad Company gets double the frame rate with quad cores in general.
Again in benchmarks this only shows that the Athlon II x3 bests the pII x2 to an extent when the Atlon is overclocked to 3.77ghz
I agree at that Athlon II x3 vs the pII x2 550 then the athlon is the overall winner, though that said it has an extra core and is overclocked in them benches, the 550 was not!
When you take into consideration the 550 wasn't overclocked and has 1 less core and still keeps up with the Athlon for the most part it makes sense to know the pII 550 will also overclock to 3.7ghz easily and beat it in most of those tests, add to the fact the chances to unlock to x3 with the 550 are high and in some cases x4 and the pII in my eyes is the clear winner.
