Everyone knows WinRAR, so no need to explain what it is. I will compress our custom 10MB, 100MB and 500MB files using the greatest compression setting, in the ZIP format.
Cinebench 10 is another rendering program. I will run both the single-threaded benchmark as well as the multi-threaded.
WinRAR scales very well with clock speed. As one can see, the X2 550 gets first since it is the highest clock. The Athlon II follows, and finally... the E8400! The Athlon II was able to beat all its competitors once it got a speed bump. Cinebench also supports the general trend; the Athlon II falls right behind the Phenom II, but well ahead of its ancestor.

If only they made a black edition, I'd downclock it and run it in my small, quiet case. Unfortunately, this review doesn't compare against AMD PhenomII on the basis of per-core performance.

I have the 250 and am running 4x1gb sticks of Corsair Dominator 1066mhz ddr2 ram. With overclocking, I can hit 1120 with all 4 sticks in. With just two sticks in it can hit 1333mhz, with single digit latency drops. So I believe the conclusion on this subject is wrong.

Intel chips may use more power but they get more done in the same amount of time. If you wan't to go spew that intel doesn't care about the environment you should run a side by side test of computer processing and see which platform gets the most work done per watt over x amount of time.
