The Athlon II X2 255 does not gear much excitement but the chip is at least able to compete with the Intel E8400 in most areas with the exception of the multimedia tasks. The chip faces a stiff competition against the Intel Core i3 but then again, the Core i3 are a tad more expensive than the X2 255. The cheapest Core i3 that we can find online is Pentium G6950 that is selling at $96.99, $20 more than the X2 255. When we fact in the motherboard costs, the Core i3 system will come in generally $30~$40 more than the Athlon based system. The Athlon X2 255’s performance is pretty good and it overclocks fairly easily to 3.7GHz without much adjustments. We think this is clearly a good winner for budget system.

The Athlon-II X2-255 passed our stress test and completed all benchmarks without a hint of instability. Even overclocked to 3.8GHz, the X2-255 never faltered. It seems that the only difference between the X2-255 and the X2-250 is the higher stock CPU multiplier. The latest additions to the Athlon-II line, including the Athlon-II X2-255 will be at least as stable as their forerunners and likely more so. Any one wanting to try their hand in the overclocking market that needs to operate on a budget would have a lot of fun with the Athlon-II X2-255.
