Conclusion:
The AMD Phenom ™ II 560 X2 BE is a real performer and for the price, a real value. Many of the gaming titles currently on the market do not utilize more than two cores so it is still viable to purchase dual core processors and expect that additional core would result in less return on your money for gaming applications. Additionally dual core cpu’s like the Phenom II 560 are ideal for environments not seeking high end workstations and instead focusing upon cost efficient machines for offices, educational settings, and small to medium businesses.
It is important to note that the Phenom II 560 is a very capable overclocker that returns excellent results for a mere $105 pricetag. At this low cost it is very tough to pass up for even the enthusiast. Using the ROG-connect port on our ASUS Crosshair IV Formula Motherboard we were able to push the 560 X2 to speeds of 4.3GHz and even higher when only one core was enabled. This is a decent processor which can compete with much more expensive Intel parts with a price premium of $80 and $100 more. In our book if you can pay less and get the same or better performance we’d do it every time.

Buying this AMD Phenom II is a very good bargain. For instance, if you do not have enough cash to buy high-end, then you can use lower versions. Once your budget for upgrade increases, you need not to replace the motherboard of your system.and also
Hyper-threading technology allows each processor to run two threads simultaneously making a dual-core processor run like quad core.
