AMD Phenom x2 550BE spec

AMD Phenom II X2 550 is a higher-end desktop processor, one of several new models introduced by AMD in 2009 and based on the new 45nm, dual-core Callisto. As a direct competitor of the Intel Core 2 Duo E7000, the processor features a core speed of 3.1 GHz, with a 1MB L2 and 6MB L3 cache, and 80W thermal design power. Features to reduce power consumption and decrease noise and heat output include Cool’n'Quiet technology, CoolCore technology (turns off sections of the processor when not in use), and Dual Dynamic Power Management. The 550 differs only slightly from the Phenom II X2 545, which clocks in at 3.0 GHz. The main difference between the Phenom II X2 and Athlon II X2 series, meanwhile, is the inclusion of an L3 cache.
