Good:  Performance levels designed for office doc use
Bad:  Average energy consumption, No Turbo mode
Bottomline:  A mid-range dual-core which does the job asked of it, namely supplies enough power for office doc work. For intensive usage or gaming, best to go for a higher end CPU....

Good:  Not a bad overclocker, Decent budget gamer
Bad:  No real improvement over the 550BE, Yet more expensive
Bottomline:  AMD has been prolific lately and the next in its line to fall under our spotlight is the dual-core Phenom II X2 560 Black Edition.As a result of its labours, AMD certainly has a lot of flavours of processor on the market these days, but as a gamer on a...

Good:  Price/Performance ratio, Possibility to unlock cores, High CPU frequency
Bad:  Cores may or may not unlockFind more epxert reviews at testseek.com
Bottomline:  AMD Phenom II X2 560 is just a minor upgrade over the 555BE which has been on market for a while now. 100MHz frequency boost gives performance benefit in test programs, and while the price is around the 100USD which 555BE has been, it is clearly a wis...

Bottomline:  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 c...

Good:  Black Edition CPU, AM3/AM2 compatibility, Great Overclocker, DDR3 support, Efficient 45nm process, Virtualization Support, L3 Cache,
Bad:  Performance is behind lower priced AthlonII X3445
Bottomline:  The Phenom-II X2-560BE performed very well against the lower end Athlon-II X2 processor that we tested it against. It came in just under the Athlon-II X3-445 processor. When overclocked to 4.1GHz it even got close and overcame to the performance of th...

Good:  Speedy performance for the price in most mainstream software; compatible with older AM2+ motherboards; unlocked for easy overclocking
Bad:  Doesn’t match Intel’s similarly priced CPU in multithreaded software; quad-core CPUs available for a similar price
Bottomline:  If you don’t run high-end content-creation apps and are looking for a speedy CPU for everyday computing, the Phenom II X2 560 is a good choice. Just don’t tax it with more than two tasks at once. ...

Bottomline:  Es fällt nicht leicht, den Phenom II X2 560 Black Edition sinnvoll einzuordnen. AMD erwartet einen Verkaufstpeis von etwa 105 US-Dollar, das sind umgerechnet ca. 80 Euro. Auch wenn man bei PC-Hardware nie den exakten Umrechnungskurs anlegen kann: Sovie...

Bottomline:  Stellen wir uns nun die Frage was wir heute hier gesehen und gelesen haben. Im Grunde handelte es sich doch um eine recht potente Dual Core CPU, welche zusätzlich über die Features der größeren Modelle verfügt. So kann sie mit dem vollständige...

Good:  Performances adaptées à une utilisation bureautique
Bad:  Consommation moyenne, Pas de fonction Turbo
Bottomline:  Un processeur dual-core moyen de gamme qui remplit son rôle, c'est-à-dire fournir suffisamment de puissance pour toute la bureautique. Pour une utilisation plus intensive ou pour jouer, mieux vaut passer à une gamme supérieure....
