Phenom II X3 720 - Good 3 years ago.

— Triple core FTW

Phenom II X2 545 - Average 3 years ago.
Processors

— My favorite and least favorite Phenom.

Intel
Core i3-5010U - Poor 3 years ago.
Processors

— Crappiest modern laptop processor. Worse than the m3-8100Y by a LOOOOONNNGGG shot. The only thing good about this thing is that it doesn't generate lots of heat, but since it's a LAPTOP and not a DESKTOP processor, you're gonna get around 500F on it either way.

Intel
Core2 Duo T6600 - Terrible 3 years ago.
Processors

— My dad's old "netbook" uses this CPU. It still runs Windows 7 and it can't even handle that.

AMD
A4-4355M APU - Poor 3 years ago.
Processors

— Somehow, it's worse than the t6600. That's disappointing considering that this APU is in a few modern laptops.

Intel
Core2 Quad Q9650 - Good 3 years ago.
Processors

— Pretty respectable CPU, similar to a 2nd gen or 3rd gen i3.

Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
