I have overclocked my Pentium E5500 from 2.8GHz to 3.5GHz. Then I did a CPU-Z benchmark and it got higher score than normal Pentium G2030. I really love this CPU and it is the best overclockable cpu!

I have two computers and despite being a dual core, in practical tests it fared much better than the J2900 equipped on the other machine, including the CPU-Z.

It's awful, but better than Celeron.

ALL FAQs »

 Best User Rated
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.
