Catalyst ™ Control Center
Brand new ATI Catalyst Control Center goes far beyond traditional driver configuration software is a feature rich and stable 3D acceleration control application that puts you in total control of his unit ATI visual processing (GPU). Catalyst Control Center offers exceptional graphics performance and visual quality for maximum performance, stability and innovation. Safe GPU overclocking, custom profiles, and assignable hotkeys are just a few of the many new features. You can also enjoy frequent updates, reliable customer service and a program of interactive user feedback, all backed by ATI's technical confidence, the ability of industry leader, and a commitment to creating your ultimate visual experience.

Shader Model 5.0
Shader Model 5.0 adds support for indexed temporaries which can be very useful for certain tasks direct temporary access is preferable is most cases. One reason is that indexed temporaries are hard to optimize. The shader optimizer may not be able to identify optimizations across indexed accesses that could otherwise have been detected. Furthermore, indexed temporaries tend to increase register pressure a lot. An ordinary shader that contains for example, a few dozen variables will seldom consume a dozen time in the final, but is likely to be optimized to a handful depending on what the shader does. This is because the shader optimizer can easily track all variables and reuse registers. This is typically not possible for indexed temporaries, thus the register pressure of the shader may increase dramatically. This could be detrimental to performance as it reduces the hardware's ability to hide latencies.

Microsoft ® DirectX ® 11 and OpenGL ® 4.1 Optimizations
The power of DirectX ® 11 with awesome performance, stunning visual effects and more dynamic interactivity than ever, the best performance and application compatibility for all DirectX ® 11 applications. Microsoft ® DirectX ® 11 games with stunning 3D graphics and shading effects. Ensure top-notch compatibility and performance for all OpenGL 4.1 applications.

CrossFireX ™ and PCI-E 2.1
Upgrade to even greater 3D performance quickly and easily thanks to plug-and-play ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU. PCI Express ® 2.1-Now you are ready for the most demanding graphics applications thanks to PCI Express ® 2.1 support, which allows up to twice the throughput of current PCI Express ® cards. Doubles the bus standard's bandwidth from 2.5 Gbit / s (PCIe 1.1) to 5 Gbit / sec.

HDCP Support and Ready to HDMI
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of copy protection technology designed to prevent transmission of non-encrypted high definition content as it travels across DVI or HDMI digital connections. High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a new interface standard for consumer electronics devices that combines HDCP-protected digital video and audio in a single consumer connector.

AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition

So far, AMD does not have the technology to 32 nm, as the series Intel Core i5 and i3, and even glad, to be made that variants of the Phenom core with 42 nm technology. This policy seems to have an order to stay competitive by enabling customers to view only the functionality and performance they need to buy.

Dual-core Phenom, the new products is still running at 3.2 GHz speed, supports 2 GB of RAM with Windows Vista in benchmark tests, includes the overall score reached 1.64. The result is similar to creating an Intel Core i3-540 operates at the speed 3.06 GHz, but each has advantages and disadvantages of the individual test results.

AMD is much better than the possible applications for the office, where he scored 555 X2 is much better than the I3 with a score of 1.35 for the test 1.62. Have I3 L3 has only 512 KB of L2 cache and 4 MB, while the Phenom seems to have a larger cache to a larger capacity for Office applications has.

As I drove with several tests of the ability to manipulate 2D graphics, i3 is a score of 1.80 in light of the Phenom, which was 1.71 in the testing of procedures such as encryption, the score back to a Phenom: 39 The intensification of the competition takes place in the multitasking test, where scores 1.84 and I3-540 Phenom 1.8, the results are quite surprising, since I3 with Hyper-Threading Technology should be able to manage the database of Athlon fast process.

A little more expensive Intel Core Power System has demonstrated that 32-nm-40W idle and 80W when the peak load demands. While working with AMD 890GX motherboard and an ATI Radeon 4290 integrated graphics berchipset, Windows power saving mode, consumes 55W idle and 110W fashion affected the tax is very high.

If X2 555 is not a winner in terms of electrical efficiency, but higher in price Intel components. The selling price of Intel Core i3-540 is much more expensive than the Athlon X2 555, while AMD socket AM3 motherboards are cheaper than the 1156 model of the Intel LGA.

An error, the Phenom X2 II 555 has to be build in an option for planning to a PC for the office or a standard PC for the home, in a position to multiple applications and the latest Intel processors at a much cheaper price to handle.
