The Phenom II X2 550 was found to be 6.5% faster than the Core 2 Duo E7400 in the multi-thread rendering test, while it was also 5% faster in the single thread test. That said, the Phenom II X2 550 is clocked 7% higher than the E7400, so on a clock for clock basis they would deliver about the same performance in the CINEBENCH processor test.

The AMD processors have never performed very well in the CINEBENCH R10 OpenGL rendering test, and although the Phenom II X2 550 was faster than its lower clocked quad-core part, it was still 7% slower than the Core 2 Duo E7400. This is an interesting result and could spell trouble for the Phenom II X2 550 come time to benchmark it in games.
