This program includes benchmarks for most hardware. The CPU arithmetic and multi-core efficiency benchmark will be run as well as memory bandwidth and latency.

In all cases, the Athlon II scored better than his ancestor, but not high enough to catch up with the other crowd, except for memory bandwidth where the Intel E8400 fell at the complete bottom of the list. Once overclocked, the X2 250 climbed to the top of the podium, except for multi-core efficiency.
