Anandtech, PC Perspective and Xbitlabs have a look at the new processors.
Xbitlabs had took an earlier look at these new processors and what was still not known to general public was if the Athlon II was using a new core. As you can see above, this is the case.
Performance is quite good for both, as is their price, $87 for the Athlon II X2 and $102 for the harvested Phenom II X2.
Not all benchmarks end up so rosy, so have a look for yourself:

As an heads up, overclocking is similar to the Phenom II and the X2 550 can have it's cores unlocked with the right motherboard, which must have either the SB750 or SB710 and some BIOS tweaks.
